Abstract
Questo articolo tratta del presunto avvenimento che diede origine al Salmo 116 e suggerisce che una malattia seria dell’orante ne rappresenti la griglia interpretativa più adeguata. Questa ipotesi è sviluppata in tre tappe. In primo luogo, viene affrontata sia l’analisi del problematico versetto 3 sia altre espressioni. Questa analisi chiarisce che non ci sono ostacoli contro la suddetta ipotesi. Conclusa questa tappa si passa a considerare l’intero Salmo 116 per collocarne gli elementi problematici in un contesto più ampio e illuminare quei dettagli tralasciati in favore delle interpretazioni che privilegiavano quella della malattia. Infine, il vocabolario e i motivi letterari del Salmo vengono comparati ad altri testi anticotestamentari che trattano della malattia, per corroborare la validità delle proposte qui presentate.
This article deals with the putative event that gave rise to Psalm 116. The author proposes a serious illness of the devotee as its interpretative matrix. This assumption is developed in three stages. First, the problematic verse 3 is examined along with other expressions. This analysis leads to the conclusion that there are no decisive obstacles to the aforementioned hypothesis. Second, the whole of Psalm 116 is taken into account in order to place the problematic elements within the Psalm into a broader context; and so as to highlight previously overlooked details in favor of the illness interpretation. Third, the vocabulary and the literary motifs of the Psalm are compared and contrasted with other OT texts dealing with illness, to justify the validity of the proposals.
