Haik-Vantour The Psalmodic And The Prosodic
There are two main modes that Haik-Vantoura has discovered in her research: the Psalmodic and the Prosodic. The Psalmodic mode is mainly used in the books of Psalms, Proverbs and Job, and the Prosodic mode is mainly used in the rest of the Old Testament.

As well as this He was beaten, spat at, a crown of thorns placed on His head and He would endure a very cruel death by crucifixion, yet our Saviour sang.
