Résumé
--
The one hundred and fifty psalms in the Bible have inspired the prayers of Jews and Christians alike for centuries. Born of a cultural and religious world very different from our own, they nevertheless require a guide if we are to appreciate them fully. Times without number, the psalms have been commented as independent juxtaposed poems. Here, Father Jean-Luc Vesco offers quite another approach. He analyses the 'Psalter of David' as one single book, organised according to a specific pattern. In this way he succeeds in re-establishing the links between the psalms and allowing their harmonics to be heard. The one hundred and fifty psalms are analysed according to their literary structure, the verbal ties which link them all together and their theological, historical and spiritual content. A genuine dialogue develops between the psalms and the psalter, which proves fruitful for understanding their meaning as an organised whole. Divine Law, the role of the Messiah, the central presence of Jerusalem and its temple, the unending conflict between the just and the ungodly, the wait for a God whose signs were passionately sought throughout history, the spiritual portrait of the psalmist David: so many themes pursued and developed by the author. An original and pleasing addition to the concert of psalmic elucidations, this highly comprehensive work, with several indexes, provides easy access to one of the most precious prayeral treasures ever bestowed upon humanity.
