Psalm 31:<\/p>\n

Author:<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/em>King David–the second king of Israel and father of the Davidic royal and messianic dynasty. David composed over seventy of the 150 psalms of Sefer Tehillim.<\/span><\/p>\n

When and Why:<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/em>David wrote this psalm when he was escaping from Saul. In it, he prays that God should save him from his enemies and pursuants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Genre:<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/em>Psalm of Individual Lament–This psalm was written from the perspective of the individual worshiper, who cries out to God in his time of need. It is characterized as an address to God involving a complaint, followed by a request and ending with an expression of trust.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter Summary:
\n<\/span><\/em>To merit Divine Protection, even though supernatural means, one must completely trust in God. Here, David thanks the Almighty for having miraculously saved him from Saul, and further prays for God\u2019s deliverance from all other adversaries as well.
\n<\/span>This psalm consists of twenty-five verses, subdivided into two parts.
\n<\/span>Verse 1 serves as a heading.
\n<\/span>In verses 2-9, King David pleads for salvation and expresses gratitude for his rescue.\u00a0
\n<\/span>In verses 10-25, he beseeches God to be gracious to him in his distress, and again pleads for salvation and for the downfall of the wicked. He then once again expresses thanks for his deliverance, and calls to those who fear God to love Him and put their trust in Him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shimush Tehillim-When to Say:<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/em>For protection against the evil eye–Verses 14 and 15 state: \u201cFor I have heard the whispering of many, terror all around; when they took counsel together against me, they planned to take my soul [life]. But, as for me, in You I have trusted, Adonoy, I said, \u201cYou are my God.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Where in the Siddur:<\/span><\/em>
\n<\/span>Verse 6 is one of the verses comprising Baruch Hashem Le\u2019olam<\/em>, one of the blessings surrounding Shema of Ma\u2019ariv (evening service).
\n<\/span>Verse 6 is also recited as one of the verses of the longer version of the bedtime Shema (Talmud, Berachot, 5a).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Talmud on Tehillim:
\n<\/span><\/em>Verse 13: \u201cI am forgotten like a dead man from the heart, I have become like a lost vessel.\u201d
\n<\/span>The Talmud, Berachot 58b, states: \u201cThe dead is not forgotten from the heart until after twelve months.\u201d The verse draws an analogy between forgetting a dead person and abandoning a lost object. From here the Talmud deduces that just as a lost object is abandoned by its owner only after twelve months, so too, the loss of a loved one only leaves one\u2019s heart after twelve months. This verse serves as a prooftext for the twelve month mourning period for one\u2019s parents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
