Your source does not actually support your claim.
The Bible was written to be taken literally (to be understood by its literary genre). In other words, poetry is to be understood as poetry, historical narrative is to be understood as historical narrative, etc.
If you don't take it literally, then you're free to treat the psalms as historical narrative or the laws as poetry, etc. In other words, you could make it mean whatever you want it to.
