This study attempts an investigation of Psalms 35-41 in the Masoretictradition from two viewpoints and in the wake of current research on thePsalter. Firstly, the common opinion that they form a sub-unit of theirown within the structure of the first 'book' of the Psalter (Psalms3-41) is verified on the basis of their concatenation and pragmatics.The deepened insight leads to the conclusion that the bundle consists oftwo clusters, Psalms 35-37 and Psalms 38-41, each of which deals withthe question of how to understand God's tolerance towards the wicked, and how readers, following in the psalmist's footsteps, might live onwith that knowledge. The two clusters also provide evidence of anadvancing argument in two parallel moves that are covered by the book'smain title: 'From Servant of YHWH to Being Considerate of the Wretched'.Secondly, the Davidisation of the psalmist throughout the whole bundleis examined, not insofar as it is limited to explicit references to thehistorical David (especially in psalm headings), but also by feasible, lexical (Hebrew) analogies with the vita David in 1-2 Samuel(with 1 Kings 2). In this way, intertextuality is envisaged as aliterary process that is initiated by the author and can be continued bywell-informed readers. The monograph's subtitle renders this as 'TheFigure David in the Reading Perspective of Psalms 35-41 MT'.
