Listen to a man performing Old Testament book (12)

I believe the answer is:

lamentations

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'old testament book' is the definition.
'lamentations' can be an answer for 'book' (I've seen this before). I also know that 'old testament' relates to this answer.

'listen to a man performing' is the wordplay.
'performing' is an anagram indicator.
'listen'+'to'+'a'+'man'='listentoaman'
'listentoaman' with letters rearranged gives 'LAMENTATIONS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lamentations that I've seen before include "old book" , "Jeremiah's OT book" , "Book of the Bible" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
