As against traditional cultic and sociological interpretations of
the 'I' Psalms, this original study stresses the 'I' as a literary
figure. Yet on the other hand, the historical interest of the
traditional models is retained, here with emphasis on 'original'
function and intent. There is a common set of central motifs
related to the 'I'-figure, most easily discernible when referring
to categories of locality. The 'I' is depicted in a sacred
landscape of contrasting localities-'Sheol' and 'Temple' connected
by the concept of 'Way'. This motif structure deploys an
ideological language in which the 'I' figure is an embodiment of a
religious paradigm, that attests a process of actualization and
integration. The religiosity of these texts is of a mystical
character, pointing to some religious practice of intense personal
character aimed at experience of a divine reality. No doubt the
social location of such experience was among the elite, but some
texts hint at a possible 'democratization' of the religious
practice they portray.>
