    This document provides a summary of Psalms 41-48 that are to be read for next week. It asks reading questions about each psalm and provides context about the Sons of Korah, who composed many of the psalms. The Sons of Korah were possibly early music ministers in the temple, though their ancestor Korah rebelted against Moses and Aaron and was cursed by God. However, later some Sons of Korah served as singers in the tabernacle and temple, seeking to redeem their reputation. While their human identities are unknown, God is recognized as the ultimate author of the Psalms.

    Reading Questions
    For next week you’re reading Psalms 41 to 48. Answer
    the following:
    • Psalm 41’s story sounds somewhat like the end of
    Samson’s life. Do you remember that story
    (Judges 16)?
    • What does the psalmist feel is the solution to his
    problems in 42?
    • Is Psalm 43 different than 42?
    • What appears to be the problem in 44?
    • 45 is called “a love song”. How is this like or
    unlike love songs you hear today?
    • 46 is the basis for the song “A Mighty Fortress”.
    Find a copy of those lyrics and compare the two.
    • What nationalistic items are referred to in 47?
    • What makes the assembled kings tremble in 48?
    Who were the Sons of Korah?
    You will notice that almost all of the psalms you read
    this week are said to have been composed by “the Sons
    of Korah”. These sons were possibly early “music
    ministers” in the temple and tabernacle.

    The first mention that we find of Korah is in the book of


    Numbers. Numbers 4 and 16 identify a man named
    Korah and his descendants as people who revolted
    against the leadership of Aaron and Moses. Because of
    this, God cursed Korah, and the ground opened up and
    swallowed their tents and possessions.

    Yet later on, sons of Korah are found in I Chronicles 6 as


    being singers in the tabernacle until Solomon built the
    temple. These Sons of Korah may have been redeemed
    as helpers to the Levite priests – attempting to work out
    their reputation in the sight of God by singing.

    Whoever the sons of Korah were, it appears that they


    were moved by the Holy Spirit in order to compose
    sacred lines of Scripture. While we might not know who
    they are as authors, we know who the ultimate author
    of these Psalms of praise is: God himself.
    Please don’t throw this away. If you’re not going to use it, leave it for
    someone else to use.
