Psalm 81 Chiastic Structure The psalms of asaph have more complex structures than the psalms of david. 1a pair: the verbs for shout (vs.1) blow the trumpet (vs. 3) are different verbs but interestingly similar in meaning. In this poem, 131:1b and 131:2 are corresponding completely. however, 131:3 has no corresponding pair. i think this is an exceptional pattern of parallel structure. 131:3 may be some type of epilogue. a: david is the servant of the lord. b: swear. c: resting place of the lord. a: goodness. b: coming down. a: zion. b: the creation and exodus.
