Biblical Tradition of Storytelling - Psalms

This week we looked at the 3 basic types of storytelling in the Psalms.

We read Psalm 105, which tells us of the Israelites coming out of Egypt.
This is the first type of storytelling. It's a record of what's happened in a form to keep on moving forward.

We then read Psalm 72, which is a Psalm of David. The chapter's about David's experiences and him handing over his kingship to his son, Solomon. We discussed the first verse of the chapter to determine who the "king" and the "son"were. The first thought was that the king was david, and the son was Solomon, and it was talking of David passing on his kingship to his son. The other thought was that the king was God, and the son Jesus. A prophecy of how Jesus will perform God's purpose.
So the second type of storytelling are the Psalms of David, which talk of David's life, pointing forward to Jesus.

Our final reading was Psalm 83, which is a Psalm of Asaph. This Psalm falls into the category of the third type of storytelling in the Psalms. The Psalmist is telling a story of what is to happen in the future. It's pointing forward to what's happening now, with the wars between the arab nations and Israel.
