Revised Edition: LukivPress (Victoria, BC), 2022. Introduction Traditionally, the 150 psalms-songs, praises to Jehovah-have been divided into five books (Book 1, Psalms 1 to 41; Book 2, 42 to 72; Book 3, 73 to 89; Book 4, 90 to 106 [this collection: O Jehovah]; and Book 5, 107 to 150). Moses (poet-prophet-songwriter) began the work. But not until over one thousand years later, in the postexilic days of 460 BCE, did this emotionally charged book of prophecy that celebrates Jehovah's grandeur and dynamic energy and mighty acts of fame come to its close. An excerpt Chapter 90 May The Wind Draw You Out Little mist,
Confident in the wind
And shadow, And affairs of Nimrod
Of the dry land, See the days of timbers
And saws and lands free
For ships to sail into; May the moon your witness
Draw curves of strange smiles
And lovely reminders of
What shall yet come to pass
To fill your belly of vapours; May wind draw you out beyond
The ends of the earth
And your nose, Little mist,
Remove your hands from Sheol,
And any darkness that dares to creep
Into your white cortex
Of thinking self. Little mist,
Confident in the wind
And shadow- Finally, finally. The author Dan Lukiv, published in 19 countries, is a poet, novelist, columnist, short story and article writer, and independent education researcher (hermeneutic phenomenology). As a creative writer, he apprenticed with Canada's Professor Robert Harlow (recipient of the George Woodcock Achievement award for an outstanding literary career), the USA's Paul Bagdon (Spur Award finalist for Best Original Paperback), and England's D. M. Thomas (recipient of the Cheltenham Prize for Literature, Orwell Prize [biography], Los Angeles Fiction Prize, and Cholmondeley award for poetry). He attended The University of British Columbia (creative writing department), the acclaimed Humber School for Writers (poetry writing program), and Writer's Digest University (novel writing program).
