His love for students and their academic mentoring in Assyriological, Sumerological, and Biblical Studies has reminded many of the importance of tirelessly massaging the text to extract its contents.\par\pard\ltrpar\ql\fi399\li0\ri0\lin0\rin0\tx400\tx800\tx1200\tx1600\tx2000\sl480\slmult1For the first half of the twentieth century preceding the advent of rhetorical and canonical criticism, Gunkel\rquote s form critical categorization of \i Gattungen \i0and Mowinckel\rquote s attention to the cultic \i Sitz im Leben \i0of individual psalms dominated scholarly study of the Psalter. An emerging paradigm over the last four decades reads the book of Psalms not as a mere anthology of ancient poems, but, because of both explicit and tacit editorial clues, as a cohesive poetic package deliberately contoured and canonically sequenced by the time of the Second Temple Period to convey a unified message with a narrative impulse.{\plain\lang0\cf1\up0\super\f0\fs24\chftn}{\footnote{\pard\ltrpar\ql\fi0\li0\ri0\lin0\rin0\tx520\sl360\slmult1\sa40\plain\lang0\cf1\up0\super\f1\fs24\chftn\nosupersub The sequential variations between MT Psalms 105\endash 150 and the biblical portions of 11QPs\super a\nosupersub Cols 1\endash 28 suggest the final form of the Hebrew corpus may be dated as late as the first century C.E.

In this final part of the Psalter the dominant monarchic narrative voice which emerged powerfully at its beginning reemerges, heralding YHWH as king, calling for annihilation of opponents of the kingdom, and summoning all humanity to offer unrestrained praise under the divine governance.{\plain\lang0\cf1\up0\super\f0\fs24\chftn}{\footnote{\pard\ltrpar\ql\fi0\li0\ri0\lin0\rin0\tx520\sl360\slmult1\sa40\plain\lang0\cf1\up0\super\f2\fs24\chftn\nosupersub Because of the significant eschatological flavor of the conclusion and arguably of the second psalm, this \lang10249paper\lang0 entertains a messianic-eschatological reading of the bookends, a normative psalmic emphasis begun in Second Temple era commentary for the entire Psalter, continued until the nineteenth century, and resumed more recently by Brevard Childs, et al. It adopts in general an integrated reading of Pss 1\endash 2, argued in 2002 by Robert Cole, an interpretation which equates the righteous person of Ps 1 and the anointed ruler of Ps 2. Given the literary inclusios gracing many of the psalms and other pages of the Hebrew Bible, primary attention is on the extent that a messianic-eschatological reading reemerges in the Psalter\rquote s conclusion, a pericope less studied than the introduction, but plainly essential to refine the overall rhetoric of the entire book.}}\strike\par\pard\ltrpar\qc\fi0\li0\ri0\lin0\rin0\tx400\tx800\tx1200\tx1600\tx2000\strike0\par\page\lang10249\b A Monarchical Motif in the Introduction:\lang0\par\lang10249Canonical and Intertextual Parallels\lang0\par\pard\ltrpar\ql\fi399\li0\ri0\lin0\rin0\tx400\tx800\tx1200\tx1600\tx2000\sl480\slmult1\lang10249\b0T\lang0he striking lexemic and semantic commonalities between the opening chapters of the \i Nevi\rquote im \i0and the \i Ketuvim\lang10249 \i0are well known\lang0.\par\pard\ltrpar\ql\fi399\li0\ri0\lin0\rin0\tx400\tx800\tx1200\tx1600\tx2000\par\pard\ltrpar\qc\fi0\li0\ri0\lin0\rin0\tx400\tx800\tx1200\tx1600\tx2000\lang10249Table 1\par\lang0Opening Common Chords\par\par\pard\ltrpar\ql\fi0\li0\ri0\lin0\rin0\tx400\tx800\tx1200\tx1600\tx2000\sl480\slmult1{\trowd\ltrrow\trleft0\clbrdrt\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrb\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrl\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrr\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\cellx2191\clbrdrt\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrb\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrl\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrr\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\cellx4648\clbrdrt\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrb\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrl\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrr\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\cellx9340\intbl{{\pard\intbl\ltrpar\qc\fi0\li0\ri0\lin0\rin0\tx400\tx800\tx1200\tx1600\tx2000\plain\lang0\cf1\up0\f0\fs22Reference\cell}{\pard\intbl\ltrpar\qc\fi0\li0\ri0\lin0\rin0\tx400\tx800\tx1200\tx1600\tx2000\plain\lang0\cf1\up0\f0\fs22Terms\cell}{\pard\intbl\ltrpar\qc\fi0\li0\ri0\lin0\rin0\tx400\tx800\tx1200\tx1600\tx2000\plain\lang0\cf1\up0\f0\fs22Glosses\cell}}{\trowd\ltrrow\trleft0\clbrdrt\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrb\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrl\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrr\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\cellx2191\clbrdrt\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrb\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrl\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrr\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\cellx4648\clbrdrt\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrb\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrl\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrr\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\cellx9340\row}\pard\trowd\ltrrow\trleft0\clbrdrt\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrb\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrl\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrr\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\cellx2191\clbrdrt\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrb\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrl\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrr\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\cellx4648\clbrdrt\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrb\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrl\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrr\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\cellx9340\intbl{{\pard\intbl\ltrpar\ql\fi0\li0\ri0\lin0\rin0\tx400\tx800\tx1200\tx1600\tx2000\plain\lang0\cf1\up0\f0\fs22Ps 1:2; Josh 1:7, 8\cell}{\pard\intbl\ltrpar\qr\fi0\li0\ri57\lin0\rin57\tx400\tx800\tx1200\tx1600\tx2000\plain\lang0\cf1\up0\f3\fs27\u1514?\u1493?\u1512?\u1492?\cell}{\pard\intbl\ltrpar\ql\fi54\li0\ri0\lin0\rin0\tx400\tx800\tx1200\tx1600\tx2000\plain\lang0\cf1\up0\f0\fs22instruction\cell}}{\trowd\ltrrow\trleft0\clbrdrt\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrb\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrl\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrr\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\cellx2191\clbrdrt\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrb\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrl\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrr\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\cellx4648\clbrdrt\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrb\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrl\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrr\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\cellx9340\row}\pard\trowd\ltrrow\trleft0\clbrdrt\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrb\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrl\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrr\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\cellx2191\clbrdrt\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrb\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrl\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrr\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\cellx4648\clbrdrt\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrb\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrl\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\clbrdrr\brdrhair\brdrcf0\brdrw10\cellx9340\intbl{{\pard\intbl\ltrpar\ql\fi0\li0\ri0\lin0\rin0\tx400\tx800\tx1200\tx1600\tx2000\plain\lang0\cf1\up0\f0\fs22Ps 1:2; Josh 1:8\cell}{\pard\intbl\ltrpar\qr\fi0\li0\ri57\lin0\rin57\tx400\tx800\tx1200\tx1600\tx2000\plain\lang0\cf1\up0\f3\fs27\u1492?\u1490?\u1492?

Yet, it does so with an eschatological \lang10249motif\lang0 \lang10249and Davidic militancy and exultation of the divine Potentate \lang0reminiscent of Ps 2\lang10249. The final chapters of the Psalter, however, add another dimension, offering encouragement\lang0 \lang10249to\lang0 a community in postexilic disarray and in need of a consoling messianic message of hope.\par Form criticism has shed new light on each individual psalm to good initial results. Yet, a myopic focus on the more constricted psalmic components and boundaries has missed \lang10249completely\lang0 the larger flow of rhetoric across the entirety of the corpus. This study has found significant linguistic and structural devices at work, especially at\lang10249 the beginning and end of the book\lang0, that provide probative evidence for a more unified approach to the Psalter. The metonymic use of David for messianic \lang10249confidence, apparent in both the introduction and conclusion to the Psalter, \lang0suggests that what is true for the bookends \lang10249might be considered as\lang0 operat\lang10249ing\lang0 for the whole as well. It may not generally be advisable to read a book by its covers, but in some cases, it \lang10249could\lang0 lead to a better understanding of its contents.}
