Chapter 6: Composition of Psalms 3-84) Both psalmists describe Yahweh as their protective “shield” using theword גֵ‏ ן ‏,מָ‏ which denotes a small, round shield. Psalm 3:4 depictsYahweh as “a shield about me”, whereas Psalm 7:11 reads, “my shieldis with God”.5) Immediately before their <strong>final</strong> declaration of confidence in Yahweh (i.e.,3:9 and 7:18), both psalms contain a section in which Yahweh fightsagainst the wicked. Psalm 3 portrays Yahweh arising like a mightywarrior and fighting against the psalmist’s enemies, striking them onthe cheek and breaking their teeth (3:7). Similarly, Psalm 7 describesGod preparing his sword and bow to fight against the unrepentant(7:13-14). In both psalms, the object of Yahweh’s assault is “thewicked” ‏,שְ‏ שָ‏ ףִ‏ ים)‏ 3:8 and .(7:10250
Chapter 6: Composition of Psalms 3-8Coupled with the similarities between their headings, these five verbalthematiclinks are enough to persuade me that Psalms 3 and 7 wereneighbouring psalms in an earlier collection of Davidic psalms. In the <strong>final</strong>form of Book I, they were separated by the insertion of Psalms 4-6. In otherwords, Psalms 3-7 result from merging two earlier collections, namely, anearly pair of Davidic psalms (Pss 3 and 7) with a pre-existing trio from themusic director’s collection (Pss 4-6). Figure 6.1 illustrates how the twocollections were merged.Figure 6.1: Merging Psalms 4-6 with Psalms 3 and 7Psalm 3Psalm 4Psalm 5Psalm 6Psalm 3Psalm 7Psalm 4Psalm 5Psalm 6Psalm 7This partially explains some of the idiosyncrasies regarding the placement ofPsalm 7, idiosyncrasies that were noted in section 6.1. However, it does leaveme wondering why, having made the decision to separate Psalms 3 and 7,the editors did not move Psalm 7 to a different location in order to unite thecollections which it interrupts. Even in its present location, it is לַ‏ מְ‏ נַ‏ and ַ ֵ מִ‏ זְ‏ מוש251
