From the Paper
"Psalm 151 is believed by the Qumran community to have been authored by David the King who authored the Psalms in the official Christian Bible, and upon reading this Psalm, it does seem to fit with the other writings of David insofar as the content. This Psalm speaks of brothers who are more handsome than he who writes the Psalm. Storfjell states that verse one which: "speaks about the size and age of David in comparison to his brothers and about his appointment to the work of Shepherd" (1987) is confirmed in verse 10 "which contrasts the fact that size and age are not criteria for being appointed to the position of leaders over Israel.

From the Paper
"The authors of these psalms went through similar experiences, but they also tell about how the life of Jesus including the suffering and death of Jesus. Psalm 22 tells about the antagonism and malice the crowd felt toward Jesus (Jackson, 2003). Psalm 22 tells how Jesus dies a humiliating death on the cross. The psalm even tells about the mockery of Jesus (Long, 2006). The resurrection is told about in Psalm 22: 18 and Psalm 68 tells about how he ascends into heaven. When studying the Psalms, it is important to remember that some of the Psalms apply to the author and to Jesus, while other Psalms are predictions about Jesus."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Book of Psalms, describing it as a testimony of the personal, vibrant faith that characterizes the Christian and Jewish traditions. A close investigation of five different Psalms illustrates how the worshiper, and worshipped communicate through these prayers. The paper provides a look into the people?s experience of God, and the heart of God for His people. The paper explains where the book of Psalms fits into the Hebrew Scriptures.
From the Paper
"The placement of the book of Psalms in the Hebrew TaNaK serves as a natural transition, similar to that of the Christian Old Testament. Before it lie the Law and the Prophets. After this book follow the other poetic writings, and historical books that contain a poetic flavor, as opposed to the black and white decrees which fill the Torah, and Nebi?im. Ruth and Esther and Songs are, in essence, love stories. Lamentations are the written tears of a heart broken prophet lamenting the death of his nation. Daniel, Ezra and Nehemiah all cover the return of the Hebrew people to their home land, and Chronicles records the events of Israel as a newsreel camera may record the incidents, with little commentary, or interpretation."

?On the Book of Psalms?, 2005.

Abstract
This paper discusses how, although written by a Hebrew scholar, "On the Book of Psalms" contains undeniable parallels that many Christian and Jewish readers will draw into their own personal beliefs in their introspective journey. It looks at how the author points out that Sarna is greatly dismayed by what he sees as the devaluation of prayer in modern day society because the descendants of David, the King to whom the psalms are attributed, today barely know how to pray. The paper concludes that the psalmist stands firm in his conviction that God's judgment upon Earth will restore moral order and set things right for all the days to come. The ultimate messages is that in the end, good will triumph over evil.
From the Paper
"The philosophical intonation of Psalm Eight and its' acknowledgement of God as creator and ruler over all, is not left to settle there by the author. Through his extrapolation of this psalm, I found myself once again in analogous thought. Sarna makes it quite clear that concepts such as "Nature" and "Cosmology" are diametrically opposed to Israelite monotheism. Any attempt to attribute universal origin and order to either nature or the cosmos was deemed to be polytheistic. The Egyptian "Book of The Dead" is cited as doing just that, through its' description of the Sun God creating all the other gods. Sarna makes no attempt to hide the fact that he feels this book to be paganistic and mythological."

Abstract
The paper introduces and analyzes one of the most popular psalms in the Bible - Psalm 90. The paper examines the origins of the psalm, thought to be written by Moses himself. It shows the importance of the message of the psalm and how it is interpreted by Christians. The paper also discusses psalms in general.
From the Paper
"The 90th Psalm teaches people to set right priorities for their life. Nowadays, many people are concerned about getting the most of their life. But these people should not forget that on the background of God?s eternity their days are a single moment. Even if some people may live to a ?ripe old age?, it is really so short when compared to eternity. Because of that, men should not waste their efforts in an attempt to maximize the amount of fun they get from their life. This is meaningless in comparison with efforts directed on gaining eternal life. Time passes by unobserved by us, as it does with men asleep. And when it is over, it is nothing. Life is like an illusion. Men?s life is short. Any ?achievement? one has is temporary and has no lasting value. The message of the Psalm in relation to men?s lives is clear. Setting right priorities in relation to God is crucial in terms of adding meaning to one?s life."

Abstract

The paper also looks at the thematic, textual and ritualistic contexts of the psalm and how it would have been performed and used in ancient society.
From the Paper
"Psalm 40, one of the Davidic Psalms, is complex and interesting for a variety of reasons, which will be examined below. This paper will look at the poetic elements and the type and classification, and how they are beneficial to the overall appreciation of the poem. Next the structure and theme of the text will be examined to determine how they impart meaning and greater comprehension of the Psalm, as well as some of the symbolism and textual icons used. Finally, the Psalm will be placed into its wider contexts within the rest of the Book of the Psalms, its social context as a poem and as a song, and how it is relevant to our own understanding of the modern world. Psalm 40, which is also a beautiful poem, uses descriptive language in a poetic manner, with vivid depictions of the circumstances of the narrator, such as the "slimy pit"..."

A comparison of the language and themes of Psalm 72 and the hymn "Jesus Shall Reign".

Abstract
This paper compares psalms and hymns. Particularly, the paper compares Psalm 72 to the hymn "Jesus Shall Reign". The paper presents the images found within both the psalm and the hymn and discusses its rhyme, structure and the language used. It concludes by comparing the overall theological images and messages of both the texts, particularly with regards to the Christian faith.
From the Paper
"The psalm's interlocking rhyme structure, and highly regular metrics stress the importance of words like "lord" and "poor" at the end of every line, making one clear word and image emerge from every line that seem particularly designed to stress the regality and reign of the king. That it is Christ who is the Lord of the poor of all lands is not conveyed, however, simply by the title, "Jesus shall reign,' but also by the all-encompassing nature of the king's rule, which extends to all nations, and not simply to the land of Israel."

Abstract
This paper explains the uniqueness of the "Book of Psalms" and how it has contributed to the Jewish religion. The paper describes their structure, format, and the seven types of Psalms.
From the Paper
"The Book of Psalms is a unique book of the Bible. More than any other book of the Bible, it is a personal testament of faith, an intimate communication between the author and his God. Its flowery, poetic style of writing sets it apart from most of the other books of the Old Testament. With the possible exception of Song of Songs, the book of Psalms is a series of lavish poems, full of descriptive terms and overflowing with the obvious passion that the author felt for his God. While the books preceding it in the Bible are books of law and books chronicling the prophets, and the books after it are stories of the trials and tribulations of the Hebrew people, the Book of Psalms is a book of personal declarations of faith. This paper takes a closer analytical look at the book of Psalms."

Abstract
This paper explores the history of the Jewish Psalms over the millenniums, emphasizing first the context within which they were originally created and then proceeding to outline their contemporary impact upon the Jewish Diaspora. The paper shows that as is evident from the available literature, the Psalms have mirrored the growth and tribulations of Jewish culture over time and today they offer one means of sustaining it.
From the Paper
"This paper is an investigation of the theme of lamentation in the Old Testament Psalms - also known as the Psalms of Israel. This paper will explore the context within which these psalms were created and their relevance to understanding the Jewish "community of faith" today. As will soon become evident, the Psalms are an integral part of Israeli history and the Judeo-Christian tradition. With that in mind, it is to a discussion of the theme of lamentation that this paper now turns. To begin with, it may be said that at least a few of the Old Testament psalms were sung as early "jihads" against the tyrannies and depredations of Babylonian culture in the sixth century B.C. (Murrell 525). "

Christianity and the Book of Psalms, 2007.
A discussion of the Book of Psalms from a Christian perspective.

Abstract
This paper examines the Biblical Book of Psalms and its role in Christian religious belief and practice. The paper gives a brief historical background of Christianity from its origins until modern times. The paper also describes the various sects of Christianity. The author states that despite variances in outlook, all denominations of Christianity hold the Book of Psalms as central in their liturgy and as a means of strengthening faith.
From the Paper
"More and more people began confessing Jesus as the Christ, and so the Christian designation stuck. It spread from Judea into Syria and finally into all parts of the Roman Empire and beyond. Today, Christianity is the most widely recognized religion in the world. It is more popular in the United States and Europe than anywhere else, but there is also a large Christian following in Africa. Western culture would be difficult to imagine without Christianity because it has been part of Western civilization and life since nearly the beginning of time. Christianity believes that Jesus Christ is the one and only true Son of God, and that he came down to this earth and was made man so that he could live and die for the sins of humanity. By doing this, Jesus allowed human beings who believed in him to receive eternal life and salvation. Because he paid the price for the sins of humanity, human beings could go to heaven to be with him and God when they died, instead of being condemned to hell for their sinful nature."

From the Paper
"In 1947 a young Arab boy made a fabulous archeological discovery as he roamed the caves overlooking the Dead Sea. Within one of the caves, which is now distinguished as Cave I, the Bedouin boy came across seven ancient documents now known as the Dead Sea Scrolls.
The documents belonged to the Qumran Community. The language of the scrolls is solidly based on Biblical Hebrew, combined with Palestinian Aramaic and late Hebrew. These linguistic features led specialists to date the scrolls back to the pre.Christian era and the Tannaitic period, up to the second century A.D. (Mansoor 11).
The largest and most impressive of the documents is St. Mark Isaiah Scroll, which contains the complete text of Isaiah, and (...)"

Abstract
The paper analyzes the title character of Leo Tolstoy?s "The Death of Ivan Ilych", making clear the author?s intention that each of us must discover how to lead a meaningful life. Tolstoy attempts to persuade us to his point of view by presenting two distinct sets of supporting characters and by demonstrating why Ivan Ilych is afraid to die and what causes his suffering. In addition, Tolstoy warns of the social conditions that prevent most people from accomplishing in life what Ivan Ilych could only achieve in death.
From the paper:
"Two hours before his death Ivan Ilych finally asks the right question. After three days of screaming through agonizing pain, he laments that his life ?was all not the right thing,? and passes into death wondering ?what is the right thing?? (151). With this final realization and questioning, the title character of Leo Tolstoy?s "The Death of Ivan Ilych" makes clear the author?s intention that each of us must find the right thing and discover how to lead a meaningful life. Tolstoy explains that even at this final moment, Ivan Ilych is capable of redeeming himself and making this discovery, that though his life had not been what it should have been, this could still be rectified (151). If Ivan Ilych can do it at the last minute, the rest of us still can."

Abstract
This paper, written from a religious Christian perspective, attempts to show that the New Testament writings can be seen as the direct fulfillment of Old Testament Messianic prophesy. The author acknowledges the many problematic issues that surround the theological relationship between the teachings of Christ in the New Testament and the Old Testament Messianic vision. This paper, however, focuses on what the author considers to be the many prophetic statements of the Old Testament regarding a Messiah. Several examples of these statements are given in the text, with most coming from the Book of Isaiah.
Outline:
Introduction
Old Testament Messianic Prophesies
Genesis and Early Prophetic Statement in the Old Testament
Lineage
Isaiah
The Son of God: Psalms and Proverbs
God Nature
Daniel
The fulfillment of Messianic Prophesies in the New Testament
Conclusion
From the Paper
"It is also an important part of the discussion of this subject to be aware of the complexities and problematics of a direct and overly simplistic linkage between Old Testament prophetic statements about the Messiah and the image and message of Jesus Christ in the New Testament texts. As the above quotation indicates, the Old Testament Messianic vision is largely related to the future history of the Jewish people and has historic and political connotations. While these problematics are largely outside of the parameters of this study as such, yet it is also important to take note of the fact that important Old Testament prophets like Isaiah saw the Messiah in possibly a different light to the way that Jesus is portrayed in the New Testament. For example, a study of the prophecies of Isaiah by Patterson (1953) states the following. "
