| Riepilogo: | It is an accepted fact that poetry is structurally different from prose narrative, even in the Hebrew Old Testament. The psalms of the Old Testament are regarded as poems and adhere to a poetic language, which has as a unique feature so-called parallelism, apart from other stylistic devices. Consequently the techniques required to interpret Old Testament poetry are quite different from those required for the prose sections. In Psalm 29 a number of Canaanite elements are detected, which display considerable agreement with Ugaritic poetry. Furthermore, Psalm 29, being a poem, has a number of its own stylistic devices. With this in mind, the poetic structure of Psalm 29 is investigated, together with an exegetical analysis of its text. |
