In broad terms, this paper strives to unpack the relational dynamic between Israel, God, and the Psalmist represented in this collection. More specifically, our study explores the Asaphite psalms within a collective, literary, and narrative context. This narrative architecture provides a helpful framework for illustrating the relationships among the three primary characters: the Psalmist, Israel, and God. To explore the relationships between these characters, we applied a coding method developed for qualitative research in the social sciences known as dramaturgical coding.
