In Latin America we have little bibliography on Psalm 23. Nevertheless, we have a few researchers who are able to dialogue academically with European scholars about our object of study. In spite of the great attractiveness of this text in the pastoral world in our continent, exigetically we have come up short with this Psalm, which has become our justification for making a study of this Psalm. Psalm 23 in enwrapped in the Psalter. It is Hebrew poetry, which is characterized by the repetition of the meaning of its phrases. Its content is between the lines, thanks to the frequent use of images, symbols, and figures. For these and for other reasons, it is difficult to point to its date of origin, but it must be pre-exilic. Our text reveals, as a vital place, a liturgical community. This community is located in the Jerusalem temple. There are there, each in turn, priests, levites, organic intellectuals, in sum, persons who have witnessed up close the controversy of a person who has sought refuge in the temple and who has found a supportive place in the sanctuary. From this we deduce that Psalm 23 was written by someone with poetic sensibility, inspired by the life of the person sheltered. The Psalmist has experience Yahweh s care. There in the temple, in the area of the kingdom of Yahweh, those who threaten him cannot capture him. The reasons for persecution may suggest debt matters and at the same time matters of justice.. Once in the sanctuary, he is lacking for nothing, because his shepherd/ king provides him with what he needs, that is, food, drink, protection, security, dignity and fraternity. The agressors are witnesses of the happy state of their enemy, but they can do nothing to him. For this reason the Psalmist has no fear and, in the presence of Yahweh, finds comfort. Yahweh as shepherd/ king is host to the one he protects. From the innocence of the refugee is born the air of celebration, because the liturgical community celebrates the salvation which has been received. The graces received have for the Psalmist a communitarian repercussion, the good and the solidatiry which he has experienced will come back to those who surround him, not by obligation but as gratitude. For reasons fo security and gratitude the Psalmist wishes to remain in the house of Yahweh.(AU)
