Summary/Abstract: Words to strengthen in faith, resting verses for the wounded, and exhorting to live with God, the Old Testament Psalms claim their place among the immortal chanting of mankind because of the frequency with which they appear in common and individual prayers, from their birth to today. The present paper wants to highlight the idea that David's Psalms in the cult of the early Christians represent a space of communion that we, Christians today, are also part of. The spiritual aspirations of mankind over time and the appreciation of Old Testament texts argues the twinning of souls (in God) beyond time.
