The Poetical Books
Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs
Job: The Mystery of Suffering
The oldest book of the Bible, from about 2000 B.C. or earlier. Jobab, son
of Joktan? (Gen 10:29).
A literary masterpiece: highly developed poetry; “The greatest
a masterpiece of the human mind” (Victor Hugo).
A Dramatic Poem Framed in an Epic Story
Psalms: Israel’s Hymnal
Poetry laced with strong theology.
Hebrew, Tehillim: “Praises” (55 addressed to “the chief musician.”)
Greek: psalmoi, “a poem to be sung to a stringed instrument”;
psaltar, for harp or stringed instrument.
The Nature of Poetry
History instructs; law teaches; prophecy announces, rebukes, chastens; morality persuades…
Psalms are the medicine and succor for the comfort and encouragement of all. They are written to the individual—
all of us, individually.
Musical odes: poems to be set to music. Lyrics: poems intended for lyre
or harp.
The Messianic Psalms
The Book of Psalms is quoted in the NT more than any other book
in OT (even more than Isaiah). Christ’s birth, betrayal, agony, death,
resurrection, ascension, coming again in glory, and His worldwide
reign—all pictured in inspired vividness.
Constitute irrefutable testimony to the Divine inspiration of the
Scriptures.
Psalm 2, 8, 16, 22, 23, 24, 40, 41, 45, 68, 69, 87, 89, 102, 110, 118, et al.
