| Riepilogo: | This article discusses how, in contemporary Dutch and Flemish culture, the ritual-musical appropriations of Psalms in extra-ecclesial settings are challenged by the longer history of appropriating Psalms. Analyses of qualitative empirical research show that this history appears to challenge contemporary Psalm performances to address God, to perform Psalms collectively, and to contemplate life through these Psalms. Contemporary Psalm performances, thus, both continue the history of appropriating Psalms and are critiqued by this history. Evaluating the research results, we conclude that current appropriations tend to wipe away the Psalms’ ambiguity concerning images of God, the relationship between individual and community, and between hope and despair. |
