The Royal Psalms one of the most notable achievements of ancient Hebrew poetry continues to
intrigue readers. Text and Concept Analysis in Royal Psalms is a methodologically oriented case
study focusing on Royal Psalms 2 110 and 132 and concentrates on the relationship between the
explicit surface statements of each text and the inexplicit conceptual presuppositions
underneath the surface of the text. This book breaks new ground in the study of the Royal
Psalms by clearly demonstrating the close and presupposed relationship between ideology and
history in ancient Israelite perceptions of religion and history. The crucial substance and
critical issue in understanding the Royal Psalms is the actuality that the ideological impetus
has a regulative value that serves to oversee the narrative itself.
