Abstract:
The scenario of Ps 79 refers to the ruin of Jerusalem and provides a case study for examining the capacity of biblical texts to speak of suffering. The anthological style and the intertextual connections with other texts argue for a late dating of the psalm and suggest that it aims to combine different assessments of history and of the relationship between Yhwh and his people. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that the psalm is composed of three units, each with its own perspective. These features shed light on the function of this psalm within the Asaph’s psalms.
