Abstract

The Bible is a combination of different books that consists of prose and poetry. ‘The book of Psalms’(Zaboor) in Old Testament is an example of Poetry. Therefore, ‘The book of Psalms’(Zaboor) should not only be considered as some religious text but also as a unique work of poetry and literature. This research article explores some literary aspects of the book of Psalms (Zaboor), delving into its unique structures, themes, and stylistic devices by analyzing some examples from this book. Special attention is given to the use of literary devices such as metaphor, allegory, and symbolism, and how these enhance the text's interpretive layer. The investigation highlights how these literary elements not only enhance the aesthetic experience but also deepen theological and moral messages. The research underscores the distinctiveness and influence of Psalms’ (Zaboor) poetry in the broader literary canon.
