Abstract

Psalm 47: Particularism and universalism. Jahwe is our king and king of all the earth: In this article, Psalm 47 is considered from a text immanent perspective and particular attention is given to the morphological, syntactical, stylistic and semantic facets of the psalm. Although problems of interpretation experienced in respect of Psalm 47 are the same as those for the so-called enthronement psalms, this article concentrates mainly on those research problems that are peculiar to this psalm. Psalm 47 is a hymn comprising of two parallel strophes (w. 2-6 and 7-10). The reason for the exhortations to praise is the fact that in his deeds of salvation towards Israel, Yahweh has also proved himself to be the mighty, universal king. Psalm 47 probably dates from the exilic or post-exilic period.
