Summary:The article deals with Augustine's thought about Music and the Psalms. The topic of the musical language and the affective theology is addressed, as well as the song as a perception of attractive love, according to Augustine. Later, taking as point of departure Augustine's Gnoseology, the interior images and the metaphors of the musical instruments used by St. Augustine are identified, par­ticularly within the en. Ps.
