(Contact the author)Abstract
The title of the present collection of essays, Reading the Law, reflects Gordon Wenham's long-standing interest in the Pentateuch or Torah in biblical ethics and in biblical criticism and hermeneutics, that is, in how we read the biblical texts. More recently, Wenham has turned his attention to "the ethics inculcated by the Psalms, an area that seems to have been largely overlooked by recent biblical scholarship". In the present study I intend to make a small contribution to the long overdue exploration of this area by considering the function of the statements in Ps 101 that talk about the king's determination to observe the standards of God's law.
