Know about the book -

Studies in the Psalms is written by Ernst R. Wendland and published by SIL International. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1556714270 (ISBN 10) and 9781556714276 (ISBN 13).

The purpose of this textbook is to introduce Bible students and translators to the basic compositional structure and literary style of Hebrew poetry, especially the lyric-liturgical poetry found in the Book of Psalms. Wendland follows a "discourse analysis" approach--examining different aspects of the poetic texts as an integrated whole. His primary focus is upon the formal features of the psalms, but elements of content (key terms) and function (psalm types or genres) also receive due consideration.
