Psalm 87:<\/p>\n

Author:<\/em>
\nSons of Korach–Korach rebelled against his cousins Moses and Aaron and challenged their authority. Korah and his cohorts perished in the aftermath of the rebellion, yet his sons, who repented, survived.<\/p>\n

Genre:<\/em>
\nPsalm of Praise–This is a psalm of celebration, often the result of a victory. It declares God\u2019s goodness and urges all of creation to worship.
\nPsalm of Zion–This psalm glorifies God\u2019s city and His holy mount in which He has placed His abode.<\/p>\n

Chapter Summary:<\/em>
\nIn this psalm, the singers praise the excellent qualities of Jerusalem. They proclaim that the holy city is the source of Divine Inspiration and refinement of the intellect.<\/p>\n

This psalm consists of seven verses, subdivided into two parts. The beginning of the first verse serves as a heading.
\nIn verses 1 & 2, the sons of Korach sing praises of Zion.
\nIn verses 4-7, they proclaim that Zion is the birthplace of all who come to it to serve God, Jews and non-Jews alike, including those who come from far off lands. All peoples of the world, they assert, have the right to be considered natives of Zion. Verse 7 further describes the scene of celebration and joy when the pilgrims gather in Zion.<\/p>\n

Introductory Words: <\/em>
\n\u05de\u05d6\u05de\u05d5\u05e8–Mizmor–Musical Accompaniment
\n\u05e9\u05d9\u05e8–Shir\u2014Song<\/p>\n

Technical Terminology:<\/em>
\n\u05e1\u05dc\u05d4–Selah–While its meaning is unclear, the most familiar opinion is that it is a musical notation, instructing the Levitical orchestra to pause its singing and playing of instruments. Alternatively, \u201cSelah\u201d may mean \u201ceverlasting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shimush Tehillim–When to Say:<\/em>
\nTo protect a city or community (say this and the following chapter)–verse 3 states: \u201cGlorious things are spoken of you, [for you are] the city of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talmud on Tehillim:<\/em>
\nVerse 2: \u201cAdonoy loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.\u201d
\nThe Talmud, Berachot 8a, deduces from here that as of the time of the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash (Temple), God loves the study of his laws even more than the act of going to a house of worship. We are told that from the day that the Beit HaMikdash was destroyed, the Holy One has in this world only the \u201cfour cubits\u201d of halacha (Jewish law). When the Beit HaMikdash existed, it was there that the Shechinah (Divine Presence) dwelled in this world. In its absence, the Beit Midrash (house of study) takes its place. Accordingly, one who prays after engaging in words of Torah is considered as if he has prayed in the Beit HaMikdash itself.<\/p>\n
