This study of Book III of the Psalter examines evidence for the
canonical organization of these seventeen psalms and finds cohesive
links that create a consistent and coherent dialogue throughout.
Continual laments by a righteous individual on behalf of and in
concert with the nation spring from the non-fulfilment of hopes
raised in Psalm 72 at the end of Book II. Divine answers give
reasons for the continuing desolation but assure the eventual
establishment of a kingdom without specifying its time. Book III
ends as it began, asking how long God's wrath will smoulder, and in
response Book IV opens with Psalm 90 contrasting human and divine
perspectives on time.
