A palce to begin considering LXX Psalms and its relation to the MT is the
recent book by J. Schaper, Eschatology in the Greek Psalter (WUNT 2/76;
Tuebingen: Mohr Siebeck, 1995). He argues
that many of the differences or translation choices are the results of
eschatological exegesis and that the translator used Jewish exegetical
devices. He does not discuss the issue of poetry, but obviously has a full
bibliography on the treatment of the LXX psalter.

Hope that helps,
