Psalms 108 109 and 110 as a literary composition Human, Dirk J. lodewyksutton@gmail.com Sutton, Lodewyk UCTD Humanities theses SDG-04 SDG-04: Quality education Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2015. Psalms 108-110 not only shows a strong use of military language and imagery, but also a clear development can be observed in the military language and imagery. It is this development that supports the argument for the unity between these three psalms as a trilogy. It is this language and imagery that helps to identify the development between these three psalms, from the one psalm to the next. In all three psalms imagery connected to the human body (‘right hand,’ ‘head’ and ‘feet’) or imagery that lean-to the human body as an extension (‘sceptre [staff]’, ‘washbasin,’ ‘footstool’, ‘garments’) is used. By looking at the war language and imagery, these words are used in, a development can be observed from Psalms 108-110. These words as well as the war language and imagery they are used in; show a strong connection to the social core values of honour and shame. By looking at these words from the perspective of honour and shame even further light is given on the development of the war language and imagery used from Psalms 108-110 and the interrelatedness of these three psalms due to the language and imagery, as a further confirmation of Psalms 108-110 as a trilogy and more specifically a trilogy of war and renewed honour can also be observed. It also shed light on the purpose of this trilogy in the Book of Psalms and its use in the New Testament. Nie alleen maak Psalms 108-110 sterk gebruik van militêre taal en beeldspraak nie, maar kan daar ook ‘n duidelike ontwikkeling in die gebruik van militêre taal en beeldspraak waargeneem word. Dit is juis hierdie ontwikkeling wat die argument ten gunste van `n eenheid tussen tussen hierdie drie psalms as ‘n trilogie ondersteun. Vermelde taal en beeldspraak dra daartoe by mee om die ontwikkeling tussen hierdie drie psalms en wel van een psalm na die ander te identifiseer. Beeldspraak wat met die menslike liggaam verbind word (‘regterhand,’ ‘hoof’ en ‘voet’) of beeldspraak wat as `n verlengstuk van die menslike liggaam gesien word (‘septer,’ ‘wasbak,’ ‘voetstoel’ en ‘kledingstukke’) word in al drie psalms gebruik. Indien daar gekyk word na oorlogstaal en beeldspraak waar vermelde woorde voorkom, kan daar `n ontwikkeling van Psalms 108-110 waargeneem word. ‘n Sterk verband met kern sosiale waardes van eer asook skaamte kan gesien word waar vermelde woorde in verband met oorlogstaal en beelspraak benut word. Deur te let op hierdie woorde vanuit die perspektief van eer en skaamte, word verdere lig gewerp op die ontwikkeling van vermelde oorlogstaal en beeldsprak soos dit in Psalms 108-110 voorkom. Die onderlinge verband tussen die drie psalms as ‘n verdere bevestiging van Psalms 108-110 as ‘n trilogie van oorlog en hernude eer, kan vanweë die taal en beeldspraak gesien word. Dit werp ook lig op die doel van die trilogie in die Boek van Psalms en die Nuwe Testamentiese gebruik daarvan. tm2015 Ancient Languages PhD Unrestricted 2015-11-25T09:53:37Z 2015-11-25T09:53:37Z 2015/09/01 2015 Thesis Sutton, L 2015, Trilogy of war and renewed honour?
