Sacred Text Exploration (Psalms): links & resources

[Agaliha]

I thought it might be easier to keep track of the various links and resources if they were in a separate thread. Here are some I've come across...

Psalm genres/literary aspects:


http://www.cresourcei.org/psalmgenre.html -- a good breakdown and outline of the various elements of each type. This is also a good resource if you want to write your own Psalms and want to mirror them off of a certain type.
http://www.biblestudy.org/basicart/psalm-construction.html
http://www.xenos.org/classes/psalms/index.htm


Commentary:


http://www.spurgeon.org/treasury/treasury.htm
http://net.bible.org/bible.php?book=Psa&chapter=1 -- one of the best annotations I've seen. Whole book available in PDF too-- http://www.bible.org/download/netbible/ondemand/bybook/psa.pdf (download link)
Jewish commentary: http://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/16222/showrashi/true
Wesley: http://www.christnotes.org/commentary.php?com=wes&b=19
Calvin:

Commentary on Psalms - Volume 1 (http://www.ccel.org/ccel/calvin/calcom08.html)
Commentary on Psalms - Volume 2 (http://www.ccel.org/ccel/calvin/calcom09.html)
Commentary on Psalms - Volume 3 (http://www.ccel.org/ccel/calvin/calcom10.html)
Commentary on Psalms - Volume 4 (http://www.ccel.org/ccel/calvin/calcom11.html)
Commentary on Psalms - Volume 5 (http://www.ccel.org/ccel/calvin/calcom12.html)




Devotional/spiritual aspects:
many of these will be Christian focused, but you can take what you want from them...


http://www.devotional-reflections-from-the-bible.com/DailyBibleDevotions.html --thoughts/meditations based off Psalms
http://www.eagleflight.org/Eflight/Journal_writing3.html--mentions the Psalms
http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:3Qz8xwYEYYMJ:www.liturgyoffice.org.uk/Resources/Hours/CSEP/Parish-Psalms.pdf+psalm+praying+PDF&cd=4&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us -- HTML preview of a PDF (you can download it if you want) that mentions praying the Psalms and other things.
http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:0imKA2nsQs8J:www.hcucc.org (http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:0imKA2nsQs8J:www.hcucc.org/Portals/299/News%2520Stories/Praying%2520the%2520Psalms.pdf+psalm+praying+PDF&cd=9&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us) -- another PDF preview, this one hints at ways to write your own Psalms
http://godsloveletter.org/Psalms/index.htm -- I really like this one, I found it somewhere as as a PDF, but this is a website version. It goes into various things, including how to paraphrase the Psalms and write your own.


More to be added later, perhaps.
Feel free to add any others as well!
