Sophie Ramond, «La voix discordante du troisième livre du Psautier (Psaumes 74, 80, 89)», Vol. 96 (2015) 39-66
In the neo-Babylonian period, ideologically antagonistic literary circles propose various conceptions of the relationship between God and his people. The aim of this article is to examine which of the Psalms of collective laments in Book III could be classified as dissident texts, refuting the mainstream opinion that justifies the actions of God and thus places the blame on the people for the situation of devastation and exile. More specifically, Psalms 74, 80 and 89 are analysed to find out whether they present a theological strand different from the dominant deuteronomistic line of thinking.

SUMMARY
In the neo-Babylonian period, ideologically antagonistic literary cir-
cles propose various conceptions of the relationship between God and his
people. The aim of this article is to examine which of the Psalms of col-
lective laments in Book III could be classified as dissident texts, refuting
the mainstream opinion that justifies the actions of God and thus places
the blame on the people for the situation of devastation and exile. More
specifically, Psalms 74, 80 and 89 are analysed to find out whether they
present a theological strand different from the dominant deuteronomistic
line of thinking.
