English summary: In this volume, Anja Klein presents a literary and theological historical analysis of the historical psalms Exodus 15, Psalms 78, 105, 106, 114, 135 and 136. As well as providing an editorial differentiation of the texts on the basis of their chronology, she attempts to clarify references to the Scriptures in each individual psalm. She shows that the reception of the biblical story begins with the Song of the Sea in Exodus 15 within the context of the narrative itself and from there finds its way into the book of Psalms. This line of interpretation continues in the texts of the Psalterium with varying points of focus, resulting in an ongoing discourse on the biblical narrative. This dynamic form of interpretation can best be described as a process of quest for identity and identity determination by the Jews of the Bible who thereby assure themselves of their history in their God’s presence. As prayer texts, the historical psalms evoke a ritualistic essence and allow for the adoption of a historically grounded identity in the recital and praying of the psalms. German description: Anja Klein legt eine literar- und theologiegeschichtliche Analyse der Geschichtspsalmen Ex 15, Ps 78, 105, 106, 114, 135 und 136 vor. Neben der redaktionsgeschichtlichen Differenzierung der Texte widmet sie sich in dieser Arbeit der Erhellung der Schriftbezuge in den einzelnen Psalmen. Dabei zeigt sie, dass die Rezeption der biblischen Geschichte mit dem Meerlied Ex 15 im Kontext der Geschichte selbst beginnt und von dort Eingang in das Psalmenbuch findet. Die Texte des Psalters fuhren die Auslegungslinie mit unterschiedlichen Schwerpunkten weiter, so dass sich ein fortlaufender Diskurs uber die biblische Geschichte ergibt. Dieser dynamische Auslegungsvorgang kann als Prozess der Identitatssuche und Identitatsbestimmung des biblischen Judentums beschrieben werden, das sich darin der Geschichte mit seinem Gott vergewissert. In ihrer Form als Gebetstexte evozieren die Geschichtspsalmen einen kultischen Ruckraum und erlauben die Aneignung der geschichtlich begrundeten Identitat im Nach-Lesen und Nach-Beten der Psalmen.
