Answer:
1. It is he that hath made us, and we are his…
This parallel is synthetic because
2. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
This parallel is emblematic because
3. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise.
This parallel is synonymous because
1. In synthetic parallelism the first part is complemented by the second, so in the first parallel verse, the second part complements the first part by stating that we are “his”, in the first part it is stated that we were “made” by him.
2. In the emblematic parallelism, the parallel verses are constructed with a metaphor. This type of parallelism shows us an image and its understanding. This parallel verse is emblematic because the word sheep illustrates the virtue of the beings that are guided by providence.
3. In the synonymous parallelism, the two parts show a repetition in the two parts with different words. In this parallel verse “thanksgiving” and “praise” intend to say the same, it means be thankful for what expects you in the gates and in the courts of heaven.
