Written by the descendants of the rebel Korah, who did not follow after the pattern of their forefather, likely sometime between 1025-950 BC. 

The Sons of Korah were the few faithful descendants of the rebellious figure Korah, who rears his head in the Book of Numbers. 

Korah rebelled against Moses and Aaron’s leadership, leading to a divine punishment that included the earth swallowing him, his followers, and (it says) all of his household. 

However, in God’s divine graciousness, some of his offspring, known as the Sons of Korah, remained faithful and were not counted among the household of Korah when God utterly destroyed them from the face of the Earth, and they continued to play significant roles in Israelite society.

As gatekeepers, they were responsible for maintaining order and guarding sacred spaces such as the tabernacle or temple. 

It was not too small a thing for them, and they rejoiced being counted worthy to serve the Lord.

Their faithfulness and adherence to their responsibilities demonstrate their dedication to upholding the sanctity of worship.

They are most notably associated with musical traditions and the composition of psalms. 

The inclusion of the Sons of Korah’s psalms in the biblical canon signifies their recognized importance and spiritual depth, their lasting impact on the worship practices of ancient Israel, as well as the importance of remaining faithful in spite of regrettable family ties.

For no matter whose ancestor you are, the Lord is always ready to accept all who are willing to call upon him with a sincere heart and beg for his mercy.

And from each of us should flow our own songs of renewed purpose and redemption out of a heart of humility as we remember the fallen state from which He raised us and the redemption that we experience through His grace. This was certainly the case for the sons of Korah.

Psalm 141 ESV

Give Ear to My Voice

A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, I call upon you; hasten to me!     Give ear to my voice when I call to you!
2 Let my prayer be counted as incense before you,     and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice!
3 Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;     keep watch over the door of my lips!
4 Do not let my heart incline to any evil,     to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity,     and let me not eat of their delicacies!
5 Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness;     let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;     let my head not refuse it. Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
6 When their judges are thrown over the cliff,     then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.
7 As when one plows and breaks up the earth,     so shall our bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
8 But my eyes are toward you, O God, my Lord;     in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!
9 Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me     and from the snares of evildoers!
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets,     while I pass by safely.

Ascribe to the Lord Glory
A Psalm of David.

Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,     ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;     worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.
3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters;     the God of glory thunders,     the Lord, over many waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;     the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;     the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf,     and Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;     the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth     and strips the forests bare,     and in his temple all cry, “Glory!”
10 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;     the Lord sits enthroned as king forever.
11 May the Lord give strength to his people!     May the Lord bless his people with peace!

Joy Comes with the Morning
A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple.

1 I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up     and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,     and you have healed me.
3 O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol;     you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.
4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,     and give thanks to his holy name.
5 For his anger is but for a moment,     and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night,     but joy comes with the morning.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,     “I shall never be moved.”
7 By your favor, O Lord,     you made my mountain stand strong; you hid your face;     I was dismayed.
8 To you, O Lord, I cry,     and to the Lord I plead for mercy:
9 “What profit is there in my death,     if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you?     Will it tell of your faithfulness?
10 Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!     O Lord, be my helper!”
11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;     you have loosed my sackcloth     and clothed me with gladness,
12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.     O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

Psalm 31 ESV

Into Your Hand I Commit My Spirit
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1 In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;     let me never be put to shame;     in your righteousness deliver me!
2 Incline your ear to me;     rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me,     a strong fortress to save me!
3 For you are my rock and my fortress;     and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me;
4 you take me out of the net they have hidden for me,     for you are my refuge.
5 Into your hand I commit my spirit;     you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.
6 I hate those who pay regard to worthless idols,     but I trust in the Lord.
7 I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love,     because you have seen my affliction;     you have known the distress of my soul,
8 and you have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy;     you have set my feet in a broad place.
9 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress;     my eye is wasted from grief;     my soul and my body also.
10 For my life is spent with sorrow,     and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity,     and my bones waste away.
11 Because of all my adversaries I have become a reproach,     especially to my neighbors, and an object of dread to my acquaintances;     those who see me in the street flee from me.
12 I have been forgotten like one who is dead;     I have become like a broken vessel.
13 For I hear the whispering of many—     terror on every side!— as they scheme together against me,     as they plot to take my life.
14 But I trust in you, O Lord;     I say, “You are my God.”
15 My times are in your hand;     rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!
16 Make your face shine on your servant;     save me in your steadfast love!
17 O Lord, let me not be put to shame,     for I call upon you; let the wicked be put to shame;     let them go silently to Sheol.
18 Let the lying lips be mute,     which speak insolently against the righteous     in pride and contempt.
19 Oh, how abundant is your goodness,     which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you,     in the sight of the children of mankind!
20 In the cover of your presence you hide them     from the plots of men; you store them in your shelter     from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the Lord,     for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me     when I was in a besieged city.
22 I had said in my alarm,     “I am cut off from your sight.” But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy     when I cried to you for help.
23 Love the Lord, all you his saints!     The Lord preserves the faithful     but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride.
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage,     all you who wait for the Lord!

Psalm 32 ESV

Blessed Are the Forgiven
A Maskil of David.

1 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,     whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,     and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away     through my groaning all day long.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;     my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer.
5 I acknowledged my sin to you,     and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”     and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.
6 Therefore let everyone who is godly     offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters,     they shall not reach him.
7 You are a hiding place for me;     you preserve me from trouble;     you surround me with shouts of deliverance.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;     I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
9 Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,     which must be curbed with bit and bridle,     or it will not stay near you.
10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked,     but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.
11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,     and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

Psalm 33 ESV

The Steadfast Love of the Lord

1 Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous!     Praise befits the upright.
2 Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre;     make melody to him with the harp of ten strings!
3 Sing to him a new song;     play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
4 For the word of the Lord is upright,     and all his work is done in faithfulness.
5 He loves righteousness and justice;     the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,     and by the breath of his mouth all their host.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap;     he puts the deeps in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;     let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!
9 For he spoke, and it came to be;     he commanded, and it stood firm.
10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;     he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever,     the plans of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,     the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!
13 The Lord looks down from heaven;     he sees all the children of man;
14 from where he sits enthroned he looks out     on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 he who fashions the hearts of them all     and observes all their deeds.
16 The king is not saved by his great army;     a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
17 The war horse is a false hope for salvation,     and by its great might it cannot rescue.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,     on those who hope in his steadfast love,
19 that he may deliver their soul from death     and keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the Lord;     he is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart is glad in him,     because we trust in his holy name.
22 Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,     even as we hope in you.
