Abstract
This study investigates ancient Israel's view of suffering as social reality, against Western, linear-logical and mostly idealistic explanations for suffering. The focus is on how suffering as social reality is represented in Israel's literature. Psalm 22 is studies as ancient Hebrew, and therefore ancient Eastern, literature, and serves as a window on ancient Israel's mental world. The abrupt transition in Psalm 22 from a lament to doxology is of central importance. The change of mood is investigated by looking at the Psalm's structure and by comparing it to other ancient Eastern texts. Different explanations given for the radical change or transition is examined and the question whether a new perspective on the problem is possible.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In dié studie word oud-Israel se beskouing van lyding as sosiale realiteit ondersoek in teenstelling met Westerse, lineêr-logiese en meestal idealistiese verklarings van lyding. Die klem is op hoe lyding as sosiale realiteit in Israel se literatuur gerepresenteer word. Psalm 22 word bestudeer as antieke Hebreeuse, en dus ou Oosterse teks, en dien as venster op oud-Israel se denkwêreld. Die fokus van die ondersoek is die radikale wending in Psalm 22 van klag na lof. Die wending word aangedui deur te kyk na die struktuur van die psalm en deur dit te vergelyk met ander ou Oosterse tekste. Daarna word verkillende verklarings wat al vir die wending gegee is aangedui, en die vraag word gestel of die wending nie dalk in 'n nuwe lig verstaan moet word nie.
