Who wrote Tehillim? When was the book completed? All by David who completed the book. Some written by ten elders before David. David edited the book. More than half are not written by David. Asaph & Bnei Korah lived in Babylonian exile. Anonymous are not by David. Edited during Second Beit Mikdash Sa’adia Gaon ( , Babylonia) Talmud Baba Batra 14b Moshe Ibn Gikatilla, (11th cent. Spain) Most are written by David. Asaph & Bnei Korah are contemporary with David. Anonymous can be by David. Edited by Great Assembly Abraham Ibn Ezra (11 th cent. Spain), [Shir ha-Shirim Rabbah and Malbim are similar]

Who is Asaph? Neh 12:46 – The structure of singers set up in Second Temple was just like during the time of David and Asaph. כִּי בִימֵי דָוִיד וְאָסָף מִקֶּדֶם רָאשֵׁי הַמְשֹׁרְרִים וְשִׁיר תְּהִלָּה וְהֹדוֹת לֵאלֹהִים: Neh 7:44 – A list of people who came back from exile הַמְשֹׁרְרִים בְּנֵי אָסָף מֵאָה אַרְבָּעִים וּשְׁמֹנָה: Contemporary of David Contemporary of Nehemiah

שיר השירים רבה פרשה ד:ה כמגדל דויד צוארך, מה שגידל אתכם דוד בספרו, ומה גידל אתכם דוד בספרו (תהלים קל"ו) לגוזר ים סוף לגזרים, בנוי לתלפיות, מהו לתלפיות, ספר שאמרו לו פיות הרבה, עשרה בני אדם אמרו ספר תהלים, אדם הראשון, ואברהם, משה, ודוד, ושלמה, על אילין חמשה לא איתפלגון, אילין חמשה אחרנייתא מאן אינון, רב ורבי יוחנן, רב אמר אסף והימן וידותון ושלשה בני קרח ועזרא, ר' יוחנן אמר... רבי הונא בשם ר' אחא אע"פ שעשרה בני אדם אמרו ספר תהלים מכלהון לא נאמר על שמותם אלא על ידי דוד מלך ישראל, משלו משל למה"ד לחבורה של אנשים שמבקשים לומר הימנון למלך, אמר להם המלך כלכם נעימים כלכם חסידים כלכם משבחין לומר הימנון לפני, אלא איש פלוני יאמר על ידי כלכם, למה שקולו ערב, כך בשעה שבקשו עשרה צדיקים לומר ספר התהלים אמר להם הקדוש ב"ה כלכם נעימים וחסידים ומשובחים לומר הימנון לפני אלא דוד יאמר על ידי כלכם, למה שקולו ערב הה"ד (שמואל ב' כ"ג) ונעים זמירות ישראל

Psalms “of David” R. Huna said in the name of R. Aha: Although ten persons composed the Book of Psalms, the only one of them to whom it is ascribed is David king of Israel. To illustrate this a comparison was made to a company of men who sought to sing an ode before the king. Said the king to them: ' You are all good singers, you are all loyal, you are all famous, and qualified to sing an ode before me. Still, let So-and-so say it on behalf of you all, because his voice is particularly sweet.’ So when the ten righteous men sought to utter the book of Psalms, the Holy One, blessed be He, said to them, ‘You are all of you poetical enough and pious enough and famous enough to sing an ode before Me; still, let David say it on behalf of you all. Why? Because his voice is sweet,’ as it says, The sweet one of the Songs of Israel (II Sam. XXIII, 1). R. Huna explained this in the name of R. Aha: Who makes sweet (man'im) the songs of Israel? David son of Jesse.

Do Now: Split up into pairs. One partner should open to Psalm 14, the other should open to Psalm 53. One partner should read her psalm while the other compares what she hears with her psalm. What is the same? What is different? Can you explain the differences? What do these differences tell us about the compiling of the Book of Psalms?

Parallels: 14 (book 1) = 53 (book 2)

Instruments According to Josephus (1st century C.E.), the kinnor used by the Temple musicians had ten strings; the nevel, twelve. The Bible also mentions the nevel `asor or `asor, probably a ten- stringed nevel; the nevel `al - `alamot or `alamot, apparently an alto-pitched or "maidenly" nevel; and the kinnor `al - hashsheminit or hashsheminit, a "lyre upon the eighth". According to Suzanne Haïk- Vantoura, this last instrument (like the Greek magadis) may have had ten pairs of strings tuned so that each pair of strings was an octave apart.
