I am looking for books that deal with the wayyiqtol form in the psalter.  
Does anyone know of any good sources?  I am collecting bibliographies.

There is no suggestion that the torati is new in these verses.
My translation:-

31 See! They days are coming - declares YHWH - when I shall
make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah,
32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in
the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of
Egypt,
33 But this is the covenant which
I will make with the House of Israel, after those days - declares
YHWH, I will place my teaching into their inner most being and I will
write it upon their hearts and I will be their God and they shall
be my people.
34 They will not teach again a man his friend
or a man his brother saying, ``Know YHWH'' for all of them will
know me, from the least of them to the greatest - declares YHWH.

The context is of a new covenant not a new torah. The difference
is in where the torah resides. In the previous covenant it resided
external to the house of Israel and the house of Judah as a written
torah. In the new covenant YHWH himself will write the torah on their
hearts.
