This study evaluates Psalms 73-83 from an editorial-critical standpoint. Chapter 1 focuses on methodology. Chapter 2 highlights aspects of precedent research that demonstrate this study's need: (1) lack of consensus over the collection's structure; (2) lack of consensus over the message(s) communicated in it; (3) methodological weaknesses of previous studies. Chapter 3 investigates the crisis of a conflict between faith and experience in the lament psalms. It lays an important foundation for the collective argument of chapters 4 through 9: Psalms 73-83 have been shaped to resolve different manifestations this singular faith crisis. Chapters 4 through 7 argue the literary unity of Psalms 73-78. Psalms 74-76 and 77-78 are two deliberate psalm groupings that constitute a larger unit, Psalms 74-78. Correspondences between this unit and Psalm 73 indicate that Psalm 73 serves as its programatic introduction. These chapters conclude that Psalms 73-78 are shaped to resolve a conflict of faith and experience precipitated by the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple. The message that Psalms 73-78 communicates is that "faith sticks to God's self-revelation amid conflicting evidence." Chapters 8 and 9 argue the literary unity of Psalms 79-82. This second major unit likewise consists of two smaller groupings (Pss 80-81; 79/82), which are arranged in an A (Ps 79), B (Ps 80), B' (Ps 81), A' (Ps 82) pattern. These chapters conclude that Psalms 79-82 are shaped to resolve the same faith crisis as the first, and to communicate the same basic theological message. Chapter 9 ends by showing that Psalm 83 is a fitting conclusion to Psalms 74-82. Chapter 10 discusses conclusions and implications. The most important is that Psalms 73-83 give a sustained and coherent answer to a disorienting conflict of faith and experience precipitated by God's absence in the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in the sixth century B.C.E: "Faith sticks to God's self-revelation amid conflicting evidence." Consequently, Psalms 73-83 are the high point of Psalmic faith, not a low point as is often believed.
