The Psalms of the Tamid Service: A Liturgical Text From the Second Temple
Peter L. Trudinger
Brill, 2004 - 321 pages
This
volume studies the seven psalms that were performed at the fundamental
daily ritual of the Jerusalem Temple in the late Second Temple period
(Psalms 24, 48, 82, 94, 81, 93, 92). It is the first comprehensive and
detailed study of this richly-relevant liturgical collection.The work
centers around a literary poetic analysis of the collection as a whole,
focussing on unifying features such as connections between psalms,
overall structure, theme and plot. A review of the Tamid service and
exegetical studies of each psalm are included. Three innovative sections
illustrate the importance of the Tamid Psalms in Second Temple studies;
topics include the formation of the Psalter, the structure of
liturgical texts, and the performance of Temple worship.
