Abstracts

EN
The verses of this didactic psalm present priests’ advice given to the pilgrims arriving to the temple. This is a pilgrims’ psalm characterized by specific metre. The whole PS 128 is divided into two parts, therefore we analyze only its three verses; 1-3. They present a positive, blissful vision of family life. This composition stimulates families to live according to God’s low, in awe of the Lord which leads to happiness and longevity. It portrays the outcomes of human’s work as those which give him fulfillment and wellness. It presents offspring as a God’s gift to human being and a family as a community who experiences wellness, serenity and fertility. These are the aspects of human’s life in perspective of retribution to God, His justice and benevolence. We may also notice in these three verses the multitude of ancient Israel symbolism.
