Jy is net 'n sandkorrel, maar so is alle mense - Nadenke oor Psalm 131
Viviers, Hendrik
W S Prinsloo has convincingly proved that humbleness and surety is what Psalm 131 is all about. His "text-immanent" approach allowed him to have an excellent grasp of this text and all texts that he studies. Utilising a newcomer on the methodological scene, namely Robbins' socio-rhetorical analysis, it is remarkable how Prinsloo's insights into Psalm 131 could be
used as basis for the "widening of interpretive horizons" on this psalm.

Jy was baie na aan my hart (2 Sam 1:26)
Van Zyl, A.H.
In this lament song on Saul and Jonathan (2 Sam 1:19-27), the author succeeded through sound- and wordplay to pay tribute and honour to both heroes. He effectuates this by skillful artistic arrangement of different words and phrases. Ultimately, the focus is placed on David's beloved
friend, Jonathan.

Liturgie in die spieël van die Psalms
The basic premise of this article is that meditation on the psalms leads us to look at them from a liturgical perspective. Since the liturgy is an expression of various acts and experiences of faith, the psalms - which are also an interpretation of acts of faith and lived faith - are a rich source of liturgical inspiration. This article illustrates the way the psalms provide the
building material for various liturgical procedures. We shall be reading Psalm 24 very attentively with a view to sermon writing. This article is dedicated to the memory of the late Prof W S Prinsloo, an outstanding reader and exegete of the psalms.

The message of a number Psalms as interpreted in Syriac Psalm headings
Van Rooy, Harry F.
Following the view of Theodore of Mopsuestia, the translator(s) of the Peshitta Psalter did not accept the historicity of the headings of the Psalms in the Hebrew Psalter. In some manuscripts the Peshitta Psalms do not have headings at all, while in other manuscripts headings are supplied.
This paper makes a few remarks on the study of the headings of the Psalms in Syriac and discusses the headings of a number of Psalms in different Syriac traditions, with special attention to the headings in the Syriac
manuscript 12t4. These headings can be regarded as a summary of the exegesis of the particular Psalm and they represent different schools of
exegetes with widely different interpretations of most of the Psalms.
