age” (808). He also mentions one manuscript of the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament, that attributes the psalm to Zechariah during the time of the dispersion (Keil 808; Elwell 1: 315). These claims are highly suspect. The Aramaic used in the psalm could easily belong to David (Spurgeon 258). It is also difficult to prove a post-exilic date for the psalm based on one manuscript out of the hundreds that suggest otherwise. Another objection to David’s authorship is that it has…

Two religions, Islam and Christianity, were both founded by Abraham and his sons. Even with the same family founding them they have very diverse similarities and differences. Within both passages found in the Koran, Sura 93, and the Bible, Psalms 23, similar points are expressed. Although they describe a similar praise to their God, dictions and phrases from Sura 93 expressed through rhetorical questions change the passage into something with an accusable tone. Each passage shows a similar…

The book of Psalms is one of only two books in the Old Testament that has multiple authors. Most of the chapters of Psalms were written by King David, 73 to be exact. Others credited are Asaph, descendants of Korah, Solomon, Herman, Ethan, and Moses. The rest of the Psalms contain no evidence of a specific author. Looking at the actual word Psalm, it means praises or hymns in Hebrew. This book expresses much praise towards God, but also incorporates wisdom, knowledge, and feelings toward God.…

Wadsworth Longfellow’s poems “A Psalm of life,” and “The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls,” they both share a common theme: death. However, they also share a major difference. In “A Psalm of Life,” Longfellow argues that life should not end abruptly at death, whereas in “The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls,” he learns to accept death as an inescapable ending to someone’s life. As a young man, Longfellow argues that life is too good to just end in death. In the first two lines of “A Psalm of Life,” he…
