Searching for charts

Is there a way to search your library for charts in L4. I'm specifically looking for a chart that groups the psalms by topic.

Hi Adam ... I'm curious to see the answer ... would be very useful.

I tested 'tag:chart' but that mainly brings up graphs; not charts.

But it did find climate info on palestine and drought likelihood. Also an interesting factoid from Anchor:

'Thus, while Jerusalem and London have about the same average annual rainfall (22 inches), London has over 300 rain days while Jerusalem has only 50 (Orni and Efrat 1973: 147)'

Ok ... back to Psalms.

Hi Adam, The Nelson Complete Book of Bible Maps and Charts doesn't have it in a chart, but in a nice outline: logosres:bkmapcht;art=2.11.2.5;off=5270

However, the MacArthur Study Bible has a nice usable chart: logosres:macartsb;art=19tbl1.use;off=2

Adam I just realized I didn't exactly answer your question. There is no straightforward way that I know of to search for a chart. The way I found the two in my earlier post was to formulate in my mind how what I am looking for would appear in my books. So I figured a title for such a chart would be "Types of Psalms", and I limited my search to Large Text/Heading Text. Hope this helps.

Peace, Adam! *smile*

Wow! You sure have me thinking! I have quite a few resources on The Psalms and just love them! Would be "sort of" nice if we were able to "group" them easily! I can see the "handiness" of a chart! Good idea! Except for the MacArthur Study Bible which another poster mentioned, I couldn't find a chart either.

However, I came across this book in my library (Psalms by Day), and I am grateful to you for posting since I will be reading this book in the next couple of days!

"#image ANDEQUALS tag:table" seems to give you want in L5 - not sure if it works in L4

The Holman Bible Handbook has a nice listing of all the types of psalms and then lists every single psalm and what type it is:

Hymns. In this type of psalm, the whole
congregation praises God for His works or attributes (Ps 105). Six
subcategories of hymn are: victory songs,
which praise God for His victories over the nations (Ps 68); processional hymns, sung as the
worshipers moved into the temple area (Ps 24); Zion songs, which praise God and specifically refer to His presence
in Zion (Ps 48); songs of the Lord's
reign, which begin with the words, "The Lord reigns" (Ps 99); antiphonal hymns, chanted by either the
priests or choir with the congregation responding antiphonally (Ps 136); hallelujah hymns, which begin or end
with "Praise the Lord!" (Hebrew hallelu
Yah; Ps 146).

Community complaints. In these
psalms the whole nation voiced its complaints over problems it was facing, such
as defeat in battle, famine, or drought (Ps 74). A subcategory of this is the national imprecation, in which the
people cursed their oppressors (Ps 83).

Individual complaints. These psalms
are like the community complaint except that they were prayers given by one
person instead of the whole nation. The reason for the prayers might be that
the individual was sick, hounded by enemies, or in need of confessing personal
sin (Ps 13). This type of psalm may include substantial imprecation or curses against the psalmist's personal enemies (Ps
5). A subcategory is the penitential
psalm, in which the speaker is dominated by the sense of his guilt (Ps 51).

Individual songs of thanksgiving. In these
psalms an individual praises God for some saving act. Usually it alludes to a
time that the individual was sick or in some other kind of trouble (Ps 116).

Royal psalms. These psalms deal with the king
and the royal house. Subcategories include: wedding
songs, sung at the marriage of the king (Ps 45); coronation songs (Ps 72); prayers
for victory, chanted when the king went to war (Ps 20); votive psalms, perhaps sung by the king
at his coronation as a vow to be faithful and upright (Ps 101).

Torah psalms. These psalms give moral or
religious instruction (Pss 1; 127). Subcategories include: testimony songs, in which the psalmist used his personal experience
of God's salvation to encourage the hearer (Ps 32); wisdom songs, in which the psalmist instructed the hearer more in
practical wisdom similar to that in Proverbs than in the law (Ps 49).

Oracle psalms. These psalms report a decree of
God (Ps 82). The content of the oracle is often divine judgment, and the psalm
concludes with a prayer for God to carry out His decree. But see also Psalm 87,
an oracle of salvation for the Gentiles.

Blessing psalms. In these
psalms a priest pronounced a blessing upon the hearer(s) (Ps 128).

Taunt songs. These psalms reproach the
godless for their vile behavior and promise that their doom is near (Ps 52).

Songs of trust. In these psalms the psalmist
may face difficulty but remains assured of God's help and proclaims his faith
and trust (Ps 11).

And so on...

Tyndale Concise Bible Commentary has lists (I've omitted all the explanatory text they include about what each of these categories means):
