Reading Psalms in various life situations. Reading Psalms in various life situations Psalm 22 in Latin

The Psalms are an endless source of hope in the Lord, the Shepherd of all people. David wrote his songs in moments of deep spiritual experiences, and his songs are equally passionate and written in moments of sorrow and grief, and created as a result of happy and trembling moments.

History of writing

As with everything in the Psalter, this song has a spiritual connotation, so it takes more time to interpret it. At the same time, the history of its writing is not exactly known, and researchers can only put forward various theories about this.

The main idea of ​​Psalm 22 - the Lord guards and protects man

It is believed that King David wrote it during his flight from Jerusalem from the uprising, which was staged by his son Absalom. On this occasion, several songs were written by the king, in particular, the fourth and fortieth. While on the run, the king and his entourage suffered a lot, needing shelter and food.

Researchers claim that the song was written by David after his servants Mahir and Verzell brought food for the whole king's society and fed the people. That is why David calls the Lord the Shepherd here, in view of the fact that the Heavenly Father always takes care of his flock. And the king, who used to look after the sheep, clearly understands what kind of work the shepherd does and how he cares for the sheep.

On a note! This is the first song in which the Lord is called the Shepherd, as Christ (who often compared God to a shepherd in His parables) would later be depicted.

Immediately, despite the admiration and blessing of the Lord, the king expresses some guilt before Him, as in all the psalms that were written at that time.

It is believed that the king's illness, which tormented him at that time, was given to him as a punishment for some sin, and that is why the psalms of that period reflect David's guilt, although it is not specifically mentioned in this song.

1 The Lord is my Shepherd; I won't need anything

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures and leads me to still waters,

3 strengthens my soul, guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of his name.

4 If I go through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff - they comfort me.

5 You have prepared a table before me in the sight of my enemies; anointed my head with oil; my cup is overflowing.

6 So, may goodness and mercy accompany me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for many days.

The interpretation of the psalm

The interpretation of the Psalter is often difficult even for theologians, and it can be difficult for a simple person to make out some words and understand their meaning. That is why it is important to read interpretation in parallel with Scripture. The difficulty in interpreting the psalms lies in the fact that some historical events cannot be restored, but it was they who influenced the creation of a particular text.

The main idea of ​​Psalm 22 is a simple comparison of the Lord with the Shepherd. Based on it, a person understands that no matter what happens in life, the Lord takes care of him. He is a guardian and a breadwinner, a listener and an adviser - He is a rock and a support for a person. The Lord always provides His children with what they need, whether it be bread, water or shelter, or maybe trials, in order to bring a person back to the Shepherd.

It is also worth looking at each verse of the psalm individually:

The psalm also contains the image of danger and death, but only as a contrasting comparison with the reliable protection that a person has in the Lord. Reading this song, a person can be calm - the Shepherd is with him.

Reading Rules

Psalm 22 is used in worship and during many ceremonies in Orthodoxy and Judaism.

In the Orthodox Church, it must be read before Communion and during repentance.. The beauty of the style and the brightness of the images made the psalm attractive to directors, so its sound can be heard in many films (Terminator, Sin City, Titanic).

Attention! There are a number of superstitions among the people that claim that the psalm must be read 40 times in order to heal or solve any problem. These are just superstitions.

It should be remembered that you can read a psalm at the moments of morning and evening prayers, when you want to glorify and praise God, or when fear seized your soul. How many times this text is read is completely unimportant, only the sincere heart of a person is important.

108 Psalm - prayer-curse. It contains the wish "Let his children be orphans, and his wife a widow." Psalm 109 is David's prayer to the Lord, in which he asks for revenge on his enemies who relentlessly pursue him. This psalm is replete with curses, mostly directed at one of David's sworn enemies. Many people offer prayers for the death of their enemies. But not all of these prayers reach God. In addition, often evil thoughts directed against someone turn against the person praying. It means that in heaven they hear those prayers that should be heard. This psalm is analogous to the cabalistic ritual of Pulse de-nura.

In this case, choose for yourself a period of 8, 21, 40 or 60 days and read without missing a day from 7 to 33 times a day. It is advisable to combine with a light fast (exclude meat). Before the first reading, dedicate the merit to your goal, desire, or, if none, to the health and happiness of loved ones or anyone who needs it. death shadow

In the 9th-10th centuries BC, the famous prophet David wrote the famous "Psalter" - prayerful and reverent hymns describing the history of the Kingdom of God, an abridged version of the Holy Scriptures.

The Psalter consists of Psalms - instructions to believers on the true path, contributing to the softening of their souls, calling for unity. No wonder Jesus Christ himself sang psalms at his last supper, emphasizing their significance. The main idea of ​​all the hymns is the praise of the Lord God, who gives healing and salvation to anyone in need. Psalm 22 is a clear confirmation of this.

The psalms of David, according to the clergy, have a miraculous protective power, more than once helping those who doubt and wandering in the dark, showing them the true path. Psalm 22 of David tells how the king, who was in the desert and suffering from thirst and hunger, was practically saved by three men who unexpectedly brought him food and water.

The meaning of the chant

Psalm 22 teaches us that in any difficult situation there will always be a way out, if you trust in your Lord, believe in his protection. Today the text of the Psalter has been translated into all languages ​​of the world, including Russian. Many of the believers , wishing to understand the deep meaning of David's words, they read the text of the prayer of Psalm 22 in Church Slavonic.

The text of the prayer Psalm 22

Psalms are an excellent material not only for the study of the Holy Scriptures, but also for spiritual growth. Reading Psalm 22 in Russian allows believers to show their trust in God, strengthens their faith.

Usage

Since the Psalter is part of the Old Testament, its texts are very ancient. This prayer is used during divine services in Judaism. In the Church Slavonic version, the psalm is read during preparation for Holy Communion. After all, it also refers to the meal that the Lord prepared for His children, which is an indication of the Sacrament.

The beauty of the syllable, the vividness of the imagery, and the brevity made this biblical passage a real hit among movie makers. He was featured in many blockbusters:

• "Terminator".
• "Sin City".
• "Titanic".
• "The Book of Eli".
• "Van Helsing".

Eternal lines can also be heard in computer games, serials, they are quoted in literary works.

Text of Psalm 22 in Russian

As in other biblical texts, this psalm has not only obvious but also hidden meaning. Although the reason for writing and the exact time of creation remain a mystery, the author of Psalm 22 was one of the first to use the image of God as a shepherd, a good shepherd.

This is how Christ is often portrayed in Christian culture. Perhaps the reason was that King David himself was a shepherd in his youth, he was well acquainted with all the details of the life of this craft.

Use as a prayer

Is it possible not to read, but to listen to psalms? This is possible, for example, while traveling in public transport. But it is better to do it on your own, because only in this way can one know the full depth of revelation hidden in holy words.

There are various superstitions, according to which, if you read the psalm 40 times, you can get a solution to everyday problems, be healed of an illness. Such an attitude to prayers for Orthodox Christians is unacceptable, because it resembles witchcraft.

The number of times the prayer is repeated is completely irrelevant. God sees the heart of a person, and does not keep count. The thief on the cross became the first person to enter Paradise only because he showed repentance and realized his own sinfulness.

Meaning

Theologians are engaged in the interpretation of psalms and other biblical texts. After all, the understanding of sacred words is difficult for many:

• part of the semantic load may be lost during translation;
• each sacred book was written in a certain period of time, for a specific audience, all this also applies to the Psalms.

The main idea of ​​Psalm 22, no matter in what language to listen to it, remains the same - the Lord protects and protects a person, directs his life, thoughts, spiritual development. This topic is further developed. The Almighty provides His children with everything necessary for life. The only trouble is that they often do not notice this, take for granted the opportunity to live, to know God, to please loved ones.

There is also an image of danger and even death. But the author of the prayer is firmly convinced that God will give him reliable protection, since he has the strength for this. Therefore, the believer experiences a feeling of joy, hope, ecstasy.
