Abstract
Psalm 127 mentions in its superscription the name of king Solomon. In the past, the reason for this title has been investigated starting from some possible allusions found in the body of the poem, to themes linked to the character of the son of David. The present research seeks to read the Solomonic mention in the title of the Psalm through the lens of the literary theories of M. Riffaterre. Specifically, we will find some intertextual traces in the ungrammatical phenomenon, found in the text of Psalm 127. They work as triggers of proper intertexts in biblical literature (especially in the historical books of the OT), related to the figure of Solomon. A new meaning of the psalm will emerge: a new reading on several levels, as if the Psalm had been composed by David for his son Solomon, and as a reader of the post-exilic period would have applied the poem to him/herself.
