Description
Doubts about the contribution of cult-prophetic speech to psalmody remain in debate.
Psalms containing first-person divine speech exhibit numerous features and suggest life settings that conform to actual prophetic speech.
Alternative explanations lack comparable examples external to psalms.
On the other hand, Assyrian cultic prophecies parallel the characteristics of prophetic speech found in psalms.
The Assyrian sources support possible composition and performance scenarios that overcome objections raised against the compatibility of genuine prophecy with psalmody.
A model of cultic prophecy remains the best explanation for the origin of psalms containing first-person divine speech.
