Description
Summary:According to Erich Zenger, Psalm 82 has been considered as one of the most “spectacular” texts of the Old Testament. This psalm not only declares the death of other gods (אלהים) but also defines commitment towards the poor as a criterion for being true god. Within the debate of different methodological approaches to biblical texts, the present article first discusses some selected historical-critical questions of Psalm 82. It then asks the questions, Who are the poor in this Psalm? and Is it accidental that Psalm 82 speaks of the one אלהים in opposition to the other אלהים? These questions will be answered by offering a canonical exegesis of this Psalm within the corpus of the Psalms of Asaph.
