The policy of versifying the Biblical texts is rigid and in many instances theologically outdated. The primary problems are the principle of a reproductive versification, a versification in one form and style, the lack of a hermeneutical approach, the question whether all 150 Psalms need to be reproduced anew and the lack of a proper liturgical function of many of the texts.AfrikaansFaculty of Theology, University of PretoriaVersification of PsalmsPsalmsDutch Reformed ChurchPsalters -- South AfricaAfrikaans -- VersificationPsalms (Music)Sacred vocal music -- South AfricaArticle
