Psalm 63:<\/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

When and Why:<\/em>
\nKing David wrote this psalm while hiding in the wilderness of Judah in order to escape Saul who was plotting to kill him.<\/p>\n

Genre:<\/em>
\nPsalm of Individual Lament–This psalm was written from the perspective of the individual worshipper, 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>
\nThis and the following psalm are based on the episode of the spear and the jar which David had taken from King Saul when hiding from him. King David composed this psalm while hiding in the wilderness of Judah in order to escape. Having been forced to flee from Saul\u2019s persecution, he longs to again devote himself to Torah study and observance of the mitzvot.<\/p>\n

This psalm consists of twelve verses, subdivided into three parts. The first verse serves as a heading.
\nIn verses 2-6, King David yearns to be even closer to God.
\nIn verses 7-9, he nonetheless expresses his happiness and sense of security in his current state of closeness to God.
\nIn verses 10-12, he beseeches God to bring about a curse upon the wicked and those who utter falsehood. He further prays for a blessing for the king and those who swear truthfully.<\/p>\n

Introductory Words:<\/em>
\nMizmor<\/em>–Musical Accompaniment<\/p>\n

Shimush Tehillim-When to Say:<\/em>
\nTo separate amicably and with profit from a business partner.
\nFor success in business–Verse 12 states: \u201cBut the king will rejoice in God, glorified will be everyone that swears by Him, for closed will be the mouth of those who speak falsehood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biblical Places:<\/em>
\nThe Wilderness of Judah–David compares his thirst for spiritual closeness to God and his yearning to see His splendor, to his thirst for water in the parched desert of Judea where he had hidden from his pursuers.<\/p>\n

Talmud on Tehillim:<\/em>
\nVerse 5: \u201cSo I will bless You throughout my life, in Your name will I lift my hands.\u201d
\nThe Talmud, Berachot 16b, deduces that \u201cI will bless you\u201d refers to the recitation of the Shema. \u201cI will lift my hands, invoking Your name\u201d refers to the recitation of the Amidah (Silent Meditation). The Talmud infers from this verse that one who recites both the Shema and the Amidah will merit to have life not only in Olam Hazeh<\/em>–this world, but also in Olam Habba<\/em>–the World to Come. <\/p>\n
