恳求贫穷（或出于自私的原因认同穷人）：论诗篇 109 的意识形态
作者：
E. Scheffler
在这篇文章中，流行的观点认为，“穷人的声音”是在诗篇（所谓的Armenfrommigkeit）表示质疑。虽然诗篇中有许多提到对赤贫者的积极关注，但情况并非总是如此。诗篇109篇是作为一个例子来讨论的，其中恳求者为了自己的利益而认同穷人。有人认为，诗篇的读者不应该仅仅接受诗篇中所有提到穷人的地方都可以（从解释学的角度）被积极地挪用。以“贫穷”为借口，自私地为敌意辩护，这应该在诗篇中揭露出来--不仅是为了诚实，也是为了真正的穷人。
In this article the popular view that the "voice of the poor" is expressed in the Psalms (the so-called Armenfrommigkeit) is challenged. Although the psalms contain many references in which a positive concern for the extremely poor are expressed, this is not always the case. Psalm 109 is discussed as an example in which the supplicant identifies with the poor for his own interest. It is argued that the reader of the psalms should not merely accept that all references to the poor in the psalms could (from a hermeneutical perspective) positively be appropriated. "Pleading poverty" to selfishly justify feelings of enmity should be exposed in the psalms - not only for honesty's sake, but also for the sake of the really poor.
