| Summary: | Earlier Research on Psalms following Herrmann Gunkel (1862-1932) focussed on the reconstruction of the "Sitz im Leben" of the Psalms, an approach that has been critized of being far too speculative so that recent research mainly emphazises the character of the Psalms as literature, and remains silent to the contexts and settings of the psalms. This article challenges the widespread assumption of a mainly private lecture of the psalms and asks anew for possible reading contexts and extra-linguistic references of the Psalms using the example of the individual thanksgiving song Ps 118. Egyptian, Aramaic and Phoenician stele inscriptions show strong structural analogies to individual thanksgiving songs and give some hints to possible extra-linguistic contexts of this genre. |
