Papp György: Khiasztikus szerkezetek a 90. zsoltárban
Psalm 90 is one of those biblical poetic texts that holds many surprises for the exegete from a literary, linguistic and translation point of view. In the Reformed context, it has become almost the hymn of Hungarian Reformed people. In Transylvania, the first section of the psalm paraphrase of Szenczi is sung as a closing hymn in many congregations, while the second section has become an almost permanent feature of funeral liturgies. In my paper, I will discuss some of the peculiarities of this psalm in the context of the chiasmus in the psalm text. The examination of the poetic stylistic means and the semantic field opens up new interpretative possibilities for the reader of the biblical text, which clearly enrich our exegetical approaches.
