The Psalm 59

Regardless of whether it is pleasure, sorrow, awe, power, wisdom, worship, or plea, many moments of life require a way of communication that transcends ordinary everyday ways. Poems are powerful, meaningful, using images, repetition, contrast, structure, ideas, than any other method. Psalms are defined as sacred songs sung to music (Vines 497). This is very attractive to us, learning moral lessons with elements of poetry, and helping to approach God.

Augustine said Psalm 59:11 ("But do not kill, our lord, our people will forget") that Jews can not confront the massacre as a witness to the Christian world I insist. He also said that the Jews were cursed but ultimately converted to Christianity Kane. Augustine is an excellent philosophical character between Plato and Thomas Aquinas, this period lasted 1600 years and covered even the lives of famous thinkers like Aristotle. Augustine introduced the fusion of Platonism and Christianity through his Apuleius, Plotinus, Porphyry reading. One of the things he allowed us to integrate Platonic's philosophical tradition with Christianity was that the latter was not a philosophy but a set of historical beliefs. The basic idea of ​​Christianity is that God created our world and then lived through Jesus of Nazareth.

Despite the strong interest in the creative use of the Jewish Bible by Pseudo Philo, there is little talk about the author's "David Psalm" (LAB 59: 4). Indeed, there are few articles on the LAB section, except for John Strugnell's re-establishment of Psalm's Hebrew Vorlage (1965) and Howard Jacobson's two volume review (1996). The purpose of this document is to show that LAB 59: 4 constitutes a complex interpretation of text along the full interpretation strategy of Pseudo Philo. In accordance with the method proposed by Bruce Fisk (2001), I attempted to find a reasonable original textual relevance of poetry including LAB and followed the interpretive skills that attracted the author to read these poems . Paying utmost attention to the Psalms also gives hints on how the Pseudo-Philippines established the connection between "Psalms of David" and the events of life in David.
