Cantos and Strophes in Biblical Hebrew Poetry III - Psalms 90-150 and Psalm 1

Formal and thematic devices demonstrate that Hebrew poetry is composed of a consistent pattern of cantos (stanzas) and strophes. The formal devices include quantitative balance on the level of cantos in terms of the number of verselines, verbal repetitions and transition markers.
