| Summary: | In the first seven verses of psalm 82, Yahweh is not presiding over the divine assembly, as is usually maintained, but rather is a member of the assembly who charges the rest of the gods with abuse of their office (misrule of the world) and announces their downfall. Those verses are the "myth", to which the call for God to assume rule of the world (v. 8) is the liturgical response. Dans les sept premiers versets du Ps. 82, Yahweh ne préside pas l'assemblée divine, comme on le soutient ordinairement. Il est plutôt un membre de l'assemblée, qui accuse les autres dieux d'abus de leur charge (incurie dans le gouvernement du monde) et annonce leur chute. Ces versets sont le « mythe », dont l'appel à Dieu pour qu'il assume le gouvernement du monde (v. 8) est la réponse liturgique. |
