Ketubim/Kethuvim (Writings): attained final form in 1st-2nd c. AD One third of Hebrew Bible in verse Ancient Semitic poetry distinguished by use of rhythm and parallelism. Rhythm based on system of stressed syllables following thought-structure of line

Usual line structure: couplet consisting of 2 stichs marked by 3 beats to each stich: O sing to the Lord a new song/ Sing to the Lord all the earth (Ps. 96, v. 1) Sometimes 3-4 stichs to a line, and variation in rhythmic patterns; e.g. kinah (lament) meter (3 beats followed by 2): Yet you are holy, enthroned/ on the praises of Israel (Ps. 22, v. 3)

Parallelism Synonymous parallelism: O come, let us sing to the Lord/ Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation (Ps. 95, v. 1) Antithetical parallelism: For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous/ But the way of the wicked will perish (Ps. 1, v. 6)

Parallelism Synthetic parallelism: Happy are those/ Who do not follow the advice of the wicked/ Or take the path that sinners tread/ Or sit in the seat of the scoffers (Ps. 1, v. 1)

Book of Psalms: In 5 books: 1-41; 42-72; 73-89; ; Composite work Korahites (Ps. 48) Psalms “of David”
