Psalm 11

The 11th Psalm ( Greek- count of 10 ) is a Psalm of David. The genre of the psalm can not be clearly determined.

Form

The shape of the Psalms differs from the ordinary scheme whereby the species is unclear and controversial. The Old Testament scholar Hermann Gunkel finally classified him as a " trust Psalm in the form of conversation " one. Erhard S. Gerstenberger calls him a " disputierendes prayer " within the genus of Lamentations of an individual. Hans -Joachim Kraus has on the psalm the form of group prayer songs.

Usually, the Psalm is organized as follows:

  • Verse 1a: trust in YHWH
  • Verse 1b ​​-3: Rejecting the advice of well-meaning friends
  • Verse 4-7: YHWH as a just judge and legal aid for the persecuted

The division into verses is not carried out normally.

Interpretation

The psalm is strongly influenced individually. After Klaus Seybold, it is the personal testimony of persecution, who have decided to take legal action, at the temple seeking international asylum and criminal proceedings apply. Similarly, judges Hermann Gunkel: He was the subjective response of a single poet to involuntary emergency.

Another target of Oswald Loretz direction tried the psalm as a product of the post-exilic scribal who wants to modernize the texts of the tradition, to interpret.
