Description
Summary:The people of Mesopotamia and Israel reacted in the same way to historical catastrophes. The cultic reappraising and interpretation of these events was achieved through the concept of divine wrath and the praise of the deity. Both can be found in the lamentation texts and psalms as basic categories of interpretation. A comparison of selected balag lamentations and the so-called "Volksklagen" (Ps 44; 74; 79; 89) shows that divine wrath and the praise of the deity go hand in hand in the Mesopotamian tradition and the biblical texts.
