Summary/Abstract: The topic of the scientific development is “INTERPRETATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF SEXTOPSALMIA”. The topic was not chosen by chance. The Psalms have interested people in the past, move people today, will move them in the future, because they touch on themes that are universal and eternal. Psalms bring harmony to the human soul torn by contradictions, pose existential questions, give answers to the curious and thirsting for knowledge human minds.The scientific research considers the Book of Psalms, which is part of the Old Testament. The Psalter consists of 150 psalms. Most of the Psalms were written by King David. He is supposed to have been the author of 73 Psalms.Compilers of the remaining psalms are: Moses (eighty-ninth Psalm), Solomon (seventy-first and one hundred and twenty-sixth Psalms), Asaph (49th Psalm and Psalms from seventy-second to eighty-second), the sons of Korah (forty-first Psalm and Psalms forty-third to forty-eighth, and so also Psalms eighty-third, eighty-fourth, and eighty-sixth), Eman (eighty-seventh psalm), Etham (eighty-eighth psalm). All the psalms of the Book of Psalms interpret the theme of punishment of sinners and salvation of the righteous.The subject of the study is ideological - the thematic content of the psalms involved in the liturgical tradition of the modern Orthodox Church. The aim of the scientific research is to offer a conceptual - thematic classification of the considered psalms.The tasks of the scientific research are to study the scientific literature on the subject, to interpret the psalms used in the liturgical tradition of the modern Orthodox Church and to offer an ideological - thematic classification of them.The used methods of scientific research are analytical, comparative and historical-critical.
