Metaphors of Space and Time: Imagining Stability in the Fourth Book of Psalms.
- At the end of the third book of psalms (Psalms 73–89), Psalm 89 laments the loss of the Davidic kingdom and with it a stable political and religious frame. Consequently, the fourth book starts with the question of gaining stability. Looking for an answer, the psalms focus on God as an assurance of their hope when they try to (re)establish the concept of earthly and human stability1. In this process, metaphors of space and time play an important role. They are used to confirm well-known concepts of stability but they also introduce new perspectives. The network of spatial and chronological metaphors in the fourth book of psalms (Psalms 90–106) offers insights into concepts of stability and reveals, how the psalms envision continuity and stability, despite all experiences of unpredictability and human fragility.
