Псалом 42

Согласно нашей Традиции, десять человек сложили псалмы Теилим: Адам, Малки Цедек, Авраам, Моше, Давид, Шломо, Асаф и трое сыновей Кораха; и, хотя они сложены десятью, но сведены вместе в одну Книгу Теилим самим царем Давидом.

Асир, Элькан и Авиасаф, сыновья Кораха, состояли в заговоре вместе со своим отцом, но в час мятежа раскаялись и отделились от него. И когда разверзлась поглотившая мятежников земля, они уцелели, «зависнув» посреди пропасти. Тогда, в пророческом вдохновении, они и сложили свои псалмы, в которых говорят от имени всего народа Израиля, «висящего» над бездной двухтысячелетнего изгнания.
