00:00Remember me, Lord, when you do good to your people.
00:11Remember me when you come to save, so that I may see the joy of your chosen ones,
00:17so that I may rejoice and be proud of the people who belong to you.
00:22The history of the Jewish people
00:52And it's not that the history of salvation is an alternate or parallel history to human history.
01:01On the contrary, the history of salvation is embedded in what we call history.
01:08But how did the people of Israel experience this story from within?
01:14We know the difficulties he went through, but what was his reaction?
01:18How did he experience that encounter?
01:20The history lived from the heart of the people is reflected in the book of Psalms.
01:27Love awakens the ability to dialogue between loved ones.
01:31which, along with frequent meetings, is how their love deepens and is perfected.
01:39Through frequent personal encounters and constant dialogue,
01:43It's that the couple gets to know each other better.
01:46The same can be said of what happened between the people and their God.
01:52In the same way that historical narratives are inserted, in the case of the Pentateuch,
02:00A series of laws, likewise, within the historical framework, small sentences are added,
02:07songs or hymns that highlight God's actions at an important moment in the history of the people.
02:14The memory of the exodus from Egypt and the crossing of the sea of reeds is preserved in the people's memory.
02:22And that is why we are presented with the people who sang a hymn to the Lord,
02:27as well as the song of Deborah when the victory over Canaan came,
02:32or the song of Samuel's mother when he was granted it.
02:36The Psalter is the collection of psalms, which are nothing more than chants from the liturgy of the Temple of Jerusalem.
02:54chants that can be of supplication, praise, thanksgiving, meditation or of another type.
03:03These hymns have been composed throughout the history of the Hebrew people.
03:09This book is situated at the beginning of the third part of the Jewish canon,
03:13the so-called writings or ketuvim, because they constitute the prayer book of the Jewish people,
03:23but we can also say that it belongs to the Christian people.
03:27This collection of songs and hymns that arose from the heart of the people
03:32They present us with a new mode of communication.
03:36Now it is not God who speaks to the people, as happens in the rest of the books,
03:42but it is the people who turn to God,
03:46although the Lord's enormous mercy never ceases to amaze.
03:51He Himself, through His Holy Spirit, puts words on the lips of man
03:56so that he can address his creator.
04:01The Greek name, psalms, refers to a song that is accompanied by a lyre or harp,
04:08while the Hebrew name that designates the psalms is tejilín, which means praise.
04:16We are therefore faced with the same root of the imperative jale-lu-ya, which means praise the Lord,
04:26For even when the psalmist makes a plea, he never forgets to praise the Lord.
04:34Regarding the authorship of the psalms, we will say that some introductory titles indicate to whom they are attributed.
04:4173 psalms are attributed to David, others are attributed to the sons of Korah, to Zaph, or to some important figure of antiquity.
04:53However, this attribution, rather than being historical, aims to see in each character the representative of the entire people.
05:03This character embodies the feelings of the people.
05:06Although the psalms attributed to David may not be his own work,
05:12Yes, they are in keeping with both the literary apogee of his time and his fame and ingenuity in raising hymns to the Lord.
05:22Hence this attribution.
05:25It is possible, as with many other books of the Bible,
05:29that some text be reworked to fit the historical circumstances of the people.
05:36In other words, they are updated.
05:40These updates broaden the perspective of the psalms and therefore enrich their contribution.
05:49The psalms, rather than being steeped in particular situations, are nourished by human situations.
05:55Hence its value for all men of all times.
06:03The prayer offered by the people or the author of a psalm can encompass a whole range of attitudes before God.
06:12Sometimes the psalmist is surprised by divine greatness and has no choice but to raise a song of admiration.
06:20At other times, the faithful or the community face difficult situations that motivate them to raise a supplication to the Lord.
06:30so that He may free them, protect them, and save them from the situations they are going through.
06:37If the faithful person knows he is innocent, he turns to divine faithfulness, but if he knows he is guilty, then he confesses his guilt to the Lord so that He may forgive him and then save him.
06:50When the faithful feel alone, helpless, or poor, they ask God to avenge them against their enemies or to restore peace and justice to their people.
07:03When the faithful person is aware that God has worked in his favor, then he raises a song of thanksgiving.
07:11When God is celebrated for choosing the house of David and for their faithfulness to this covenant,
07:18The royal psalms emerge, in which it is also remembered that the true King is God.
07:24If the situation is difficult for the whole people, the hope born from the prophetic announcement makes the people speak of the day of the Lord.
07:33in which he will definitively liberate his people.
07:38On the other hand, if the glories that are sung are to the temple and to Jerusalem,
07:43Hymns to Zion are born that can exalt ultimate glory in the future
07:49or the present grandeur and magnificence that gladdens the people on their way to the temple
07:55when the holidays are supposed to involve a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
07:59There are also some psalms that aim to convey a teaching.
08:06Therefore, the law of the Lord is praised, his justice, his faithfulness, his goodness
08:13or the retribution that awaits the bad man and the good man.
08:19The richness that such diversity offers us is united by the faith that the people profess in relation to their God.
08:27and that manifests itself actively and present in the history of Israel.
08:33From his perspective of faith, man's life is defined by faithfulness or unfaithfulness to God.
08:42He who is faithful to Him strives to remain docile to the Lord.
08:46But those who have chosen infidelity can then assume an attitude of indifference,
08:54rejection or open attack on the faithful of Yahweh.
08:58Thus arises the battle that takes place between those who are faithful and those who are not.
09:04This struggle may even have a spiritual dimension.
09:08The righteous man remains faithful, is open to divine law, and shows his docility in worship.
09:18offering true worship in the temple of their God.
09:22Trust in God can have human undertones, such as expecting a land, offspring, or an abundant harvest.
09:31However, contact with God makes them aware that happiness is more than just satisfying basic needs.
09:42Loyalty to the covenant and its law becomes, over time, the ultimate goal.
09:51This step in the perception of one's own happiness and relationship with God,
09:56It also gives rise to a vision regarding the enemy.
10:00It is no longer about their annihilation, now it is about their conversion.
10:06The day of the Lord will not be the day of the extermination of nations, but the day of the gathering of all nations into one people.
10:18The concern for the well-being of the just and faithful man poses a question for the people.
10:25Why does the righteous suffer?
10:27Initially, the faithful person confesses their innocence and waits on God to give them victory over their enemy.
10:36But over time he becomes aware that he has also sinned and learns to trust in the Lord
10:42and that one day God will create a new world where peace, justice, and solidarity reign.
10:51All these hopes will not be fulfilled until the fullness of time arrives.
10:59when the Son of God becomes man.
