A Neglected Solution of a Problem in Psalm Lxxvi 11

A Neglected Solution of a Problem in Psalm Lxxvi 11 A NEGLECTED SOLUTION OF A PROBLEM IN PSALM LXXVI 11 BY J. A. EMERTON Cambridge Many a student of the Hebrew Bible must have thought of what seemed to him to be a new solution of a textual problem, only to discover later that the same idea had occurred to someone else long before but had failed to receive due attention in recent commentaries. The present paper is concerned with such a solution of a problem in Ps. lxxvi 11, and it is a pleasure to contribute it to a collection of articles in honour of the distinguished Danish scholar Professor E.

Abstract

A NEGLECTED SOLUTION OF A PROBLEM IN PSALM LXXVI 11 BY J. A. EMERTON Cambridge Many a student of the Hebrew Bible must have thought of what seemed to him to be a new solution of a textual problem, only to discover later that the same idea had occurred to someone else long before but had failed to receive due attention in recent commentaries. The present paper is concerned with such a solution of a problem in Ps. lxxvi 11, and it is a pleasure to contribute it to a collection of articles in honour of the distinguished Danish scholar Professor E. HAMMERSHAIMB. The verse occurs in a psalm that is ascribed by GuNKEI, to the class of Zionlied; that is to say, it is a sub-division of the Hyenas that honours Zion and, by so doing, praises Zion's God. Psalm lxxvi, like xlviii and probably xlvi, appears to imply that the enemy have attacked Jerusalem but have been overthrown by Yahweh.
