- Abstract:
- ABSTRACT: This article draws upon a reader-response and canonical-hermeneutical perspective in order to analyze the manner in which 2 Sam 22 and Ps 18 are embedded in their respective literary contexts. Psalm 18's superscription functions both to guide the interpretation of the following psalm as well as evoke its " Doppelgänger " in 2 Sam 22 (and "behind" it the Song of Moses in Deut 32, 1-43). It not only contains a prayer articulated in a situation of distress, as a song of thanksgiving it also retrospectively witnesses to divine acts of salvation that have an abiding validity. This analysis demonstrates that the intertextual reading of biblical texts as a significant moment of the "canon" is not a secondary imposition upon these texts from the outside.
