Psalm 62 unpacked for performance — and for translation
Abstract
Up to 80% of the world’s population are oral preference learners. This paper offers a performance-based approach to exegeting Psalm 62 and providing supplementary descriptions of the poem’s multi-layered meanings, moods, and emotions. Twelve lexical links with its backstory in 1 Samuel reveal where, when, why, and to whom it was originally enacted.
