Psalm 38:<\/p>\n

Author:<\/em>
\nKing 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.<\/p>\n

Genre:<\/em>
\nPsalm 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.<\/p>\n

Chapter Summary:<\/em>
\nIn this psalm, King David reminds us that God afflicts man because of his transgressions, and further prays to God for salvation from his afflictions. David\u2019s additional intent here is to instill in man the responsibility to bless God for the bad just as one blesses Him for the good.
\nThis psalm consists of twenty-three verses, subdivided into five parts. The first verse serves as a heading.
\nIn verses 2-8, King David describes his various illnesses and ailments, attributing them to God.
\nIn verses 9-13, he expresses his loneliness.
\nIn verses 14-16, he gives voice to the tension between his silence and his hope.
\nIn verses 17-21, he elaborates upon his fear of his enemies due to his sins.
\nIn verses 22 and 23, he concludes by pleading for salvation.<\/p>\n

Technical Terminology:<\/em>
\nLehazkir<\/em>–For Remembrance<\/p>\n

Shimush Tehillim-When to Say:<\/em>
\nAgainst people who speak evil gossip–Verse 13 states: \u201cand those who seek my hurt speak of destruction, and upon decites, all day do they meditate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Where in the Siddur:<\/em>
\nVerse 22 is included in the long version of the Tachanun<\/em> (Penitential Prayer), recited on Mondays and Thursdays upon conclusion of the Amidah (Silent Meditation) of Shacharit (morning service).<\/p>\n

Talmud on Tehillim:<\/em>
\nVerse 11: \u201cMy heart is engulfed in grief, my strength has forsaken me.\u201d
\nThe Talmud, Gittin 70a, deduces from here that three things weaken the body of a person: fear, travel and sin.<\/p>\n
