Imagina que eres un cristiano en la época de la persecusión profesando tu fe en una misa dentro de una catacumba

In fact, this is not just only an early Christian hymn. The text is actually the literal text of psalm 110:3. The entire book of psalms was sung first by the Jews in Hebrew and then by the earliest Christians, who happened to be from the Jews, sung in Greek, because the main language was Greek and the Old Testament Bible was already translated in Greek, and given to the other heathen Christians to sing. Later a latin translation (among with other translations, like Ethyopian) were made (often from the greek septuaginta). The psalm is full of references to Jesus Christ, the Saviour that would come, and David prophesied about. The entire psalm 103: A Psalm of David. 1 THE Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. 2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. 3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. 4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. 5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. 6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. 7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

What time period did this hymn come about if it is early Christian - also where did this specific chant originate from

[@janusroland]

It's from the Book of Psalms, psalm 109 (or 110, depending on how you organize them). The psalms existed before Jesus appeared, and before the Torah/OldTestament was compiled, so they are very ancient. The meaning probably has layers of significance, not just literal, but also symbolic/esoteric surely. Also, Vivaldi composed some beautiful music for this. Look for "Vivaldi tecum principium, dixit dominus". Enjoy 🙏🏾

@@janusroland interesting, Thankyou brother

[@cardenmanning2455]

This psalm the way it sounds here, it sounds quite typical to Orthodox Christian chant. Orthodox Christians are Eastern Christians as opposite to (Western) Catholic Christians. Most of Eastern Europe is Orthodox. Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Georgia. And yes, Orthodox Christianity appeared first, it was later when Rome Christians (Catholics) wanted to separate from Constantinople Christians (Orthodox). I don't dispute the origins of this kind of music, but it has pretty strong Persian and Indian influence. Rome took some of its influences from these sources, especially Eastern Rome (Byzantium) did it, Byzantium - the cradle of Orthodox Christianity.

@@cardenmanning2455This is old Roman Chant, I am not an expert on music history but I believe it was used in Rome from estimates from around 5/600s, if not earlier, through 1000s.

What does it say?

[@ICXCNIKA.777]

The original, preserved and never changed christianity is orthodox christianity. From Aramaic, Greek till Russian. Western christianity (katholic, protestant. Etc) is a sideroad. The first christian church existed before written Scripture, from oral tradition. It is basically the church that Jeshua(Hebrew& Aram)/Isho(aram&logically this format let to the Islamic deceptive version of Jesus named Isa)/Jesus (latinized) has build.
