초록
The goal of this paper is to identify the canonical functions of Psalms 19 and 119. Psalms 1, 19, and 119 are of great significance in terms of their central message—the greatness of the torah—as well as their canonical placement. Psalm 1 is the first psalm of the whole Psalter and Psalms 19 and 119 stand in the middle of the first book and of the last book of the Psalter respectively. The canonical function of Psalm 1 as an introduction of the whole Psalter has already been studied enough by many scholars, but how about the canonical functions of Psalms 19 and 119? If their placement is canonically intentional, what is their canonical function? To answer this question, this paper will focus on the analysis of their canonical placements. Through this process, I will argue that their placement is intentional (‘torah pillars,’ which I call the ‘macro-torah frame’) and that the Psalter, along with Psalm 1, should be read through the lens of the torah motif. To that end, I will first look into the wisdom frames that Gerald Wilson has suggested in order to identify the canonical places of Psalms 19 and 119 and then analyze the thematic development of the psalms and their neighboring psalms.
Abstract
The goal of this paper is to identify the canonical functions of Psalms 19 and 119. Psalms 1, 19, and 119 are of great significance in terms of their central message—the greatness of the torah—as well as their canonical placement. Psalm 1 is the first psalm of the whole Psalter and Psalms 19 and 119 stand in the middle of the first book and of the last book of the Psalter respectively. The canonical function of Psalm 1 as an introduction of the whole Psalter has already been studied enough by many scholars, but how about the canonical functions of Psalms 19 and 119? If their placement is canonically intentional, what is their canonical function? To answer this question, this paper will focus on the analysis of their canonical placements. Through this process, I will argue that their placement is intentional (‘torah pillars,’ which I call the ‘macro-torah frame’) and that the Psalter, along with Psalm 1, should be read through the lens of the torah motif. To that end, I will first look into the wisdom frames that Gerald Wilson has suggested in order to identify the canonical places of Psalms 19 and 119 and then analyze the thematic development of the psalms and their neighboring psalms.
