Oesterreichische Biblische Studien: «I turned back my feet to your decrees» (Psalm 119, 59)

 

"Scholars have described Psalm 119 as the "crux criticorum" of the Fifth Book of the Psalter (Pss 107-150). While the length of the psalm and its insistence on the question of YHWH's Torah are basic indices pointing to its importance in the Book, the question of its message, that is, the logical development of its theme has remained an exegetical problem.

Beschrijving Oesterreichische Biblische Studien: «I turned back my feet to your decrees» (Psalm 119, 59)

This study resolves the problem of the thematic coherence of Psalm 119, arguing the Psalm is structurally arranged to show the Psalmist's own experience of straying and returning to YHWH's Torah. This has implications for the organisation of the Fifth Book of the Psalter and for the place of Psalms such as 111 and 147, which also reflect on Torah.
