Abstract: The study discusses how mythical elements of the Ancient Near East have entered Old Testament theology and how they are placed within the statements of Old Testament faith. As an example, Psalm 11 is tackled with which originally was explained by exegetes as an individual lament. It turns out that the pivotal term, God’s throne, originated in the mythology of the Ancient Near East, but in its actual place it represents the presence of the God of Israel amongst His people.
Key words: Psalm 11, exegesis, God’s throne, Near Eastern mythology, Old Testament theology
