Psalm 126: 'n Perspektief vanuit die hede na die verlede en die toekoms

Abstract

Psalm 126: Looking from the present to the past and future: W S Prinsloo's synchronic textimmanent exegesis of Psalm 126 results in a two part division of the psalm (verses 1-4 and 5-6), In this contribution his results are questioned and a three-pan division (a possibility Prinsloo did not consider) is proposed, consisting of verses 1-3, 4 and 5-6, The result of the present investigation confirms (also from a synchronic textimmanent approach applied to the text) the perspective of past (verses 1-3), present (verse 4) andfuture (verses 5-6) in the psalm.
