The whole story

What John Hobbins calls my magnificent obsession continues.  Here's the latest 'summary' with all the posts on the psalms.  Now I need to start thinking how to tell the story - who are the characters, what is the plot, purpose, what is the impact, the setting, etc.  Still wondering how to do this without writing a traditional commentary and yet another new translation. The date is the date I last changed the text of the translation. I have made other changes like adding notes or adjusting roots or prosodic form, but I didn't include those in the list.
