The Rhetorical Structure of Psalm 77 and its Interpretation
Abstract
The article presents an analysis of one of the Psalms of Asaph - Ps 77. The main purpose of
the study is to show the dependence between the structure of the text and its interpretation, the
impact of text division on ascertaining its message. With this aim in view different propositions of
exegetes are set forth, their standpoints falling into two groups. On the one hand they divide Ps 77
according to the following criteria: the ‘selah’ pause or the generic features of the text - this
approach results in demonstrating the nonuniformity of Ps 77. On the other hand, some exegetes
claim that the analyzed text contains features that allow us to consider it as a uniform whole.
The division of Ps 77 proposed in the article is based firstly on formal criteria and secondly
on content criteria. Finally, a synthesis of both types of division is achieved and serves as a basis of
interpretation. In this way it becomes possible to show: the dynamism of the content of Ps 77, its
major themes, its reflective character, the image of a gracious but at the same time also mighty
God, and the parenthetical features of the psalm.
