Art and Truth in a Psalm, with Rico Villanueva: Psalm 1

Exegetically Speaking

Even in translation, Psalm 1, a favorite of many, can be appreciated for its art and truth. All the more in Hebrew, through which we can see and hear how the psalmist employs letters, repetition of words, sounds, and other devices to convey meaning.
