In his book on Biblical genres, Leland Ryken the various structures Biblical poetry typically takes including narrative structure, expository structure, and descriptive structure. Psalm 32 would like fall into what he labels psychological structure, where the poetry follows “the very flow of a speaker’s consciousness and jump[s] abruptly from one subject to another,” and where “the point of unity is that it is all happening in the mind and consciousness of the speaker” (p. 209). When we engage the poetry, when it works, we too are drawn more or less into the same consciousness. Perhaps this does not happen every time we read a psalm, like 32, but hopefully more often than not it does.
