A chapter written by David at one of the most extreme moments in his life - as he pretended to be insane when he rang to seek shelter with the Philistine king Avimelech. Daniel Silverstein returns again with a powerful audio - beginning with a fast paced beautiful rap translation of his own of the chapter and continuing with insights ancient and modern into the chapter and the nature of what it means to desire life.

Tehillim 30-32! Chapters describing the experience of being cast low but the potential for those dark circumstances to be turned around - בערב ילין בכי ולבקר רינה - in the night one lies down in tears, in the mornings one rises up in joy. Text here:

A whole range of emotions within three chapters, from the king who praises God for everything he has been given, to the immortal line of וְאָנֹכִי תוֹלַעַת וְלֹא־אִישׁ I am a worm and not a man. Plus in ch20 the best prooftext to the thesis I shared a few weeks back in Zachariah that the Torah loves donkeys but detests horsesאֵלֶּה בָרֶכֶב וְאֵלֶּה בַסּוּסִים וַאֲנַחְנוּ | בְּשֵׁם־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ נַזְכִּיר They [call] on chariots, they [call] on horses, but we call on the name of the LORD of our God.

David doesn't just cry to God when he is in need, he thanks him too when things go well - and even so there remains a certain part of God which is always hidden. By the best sort of mix up we actually have two recordings for today's chapter, from Ilana Stein in South Africa and from Sam Lebens in Israel. Ashreinu! Text here: www.sefaria.org/Psalms.18

God searches the world for one who is wise and seeks Him... Or, as Calev provocatively presents the Kotzker, could it be possible for a rationalist to search for God? Text here: www.sefaria.org/Psalms.14

There is evil in the world, society is corrupt, how long must we wait? Rabbi Dr Sam Lebens considers the religious validity of complaining to God. Text here: www.sefaria.org/Psalms.13

The representation of God as Judge inspires Rafi to dedicate this chapter to Ruth Bader Ginsburg z"l via a little bit of mid-90s rap. Tehillim 9 and 10, argue Robert Addlestone and Rafi Alter should be treated as a single chapter, united by one acrostic. Text here: www.sefaria.org/Psalms.9

The intriguingly named Shigayon L'David in which David tries to make amends to Shaul. Text here: www.sefaria.org/Psalms.7

The rightly famous lines, expressing astonishment at God's choice of lowly man as partner in creation. Text here: www.sefaria.org/Psalms.8

Ch.3 takes us back to a specific historical moment earlier on in the Tanakh - in this case David fleeing his son Avshalom after the latter had launched what appeared to be a successful rebellion. Rabbi Dr Sam Lebens ponders why fleeing from one's murderous son should be an opportunity for David to give praise rather than lament - and fittingly suggests a framework most relevant to this time of year.

We focus on a comment of Rashi, critical to the whole enterpise of Talmud Torah. Text here: www.sefaria.org/Psalms.1, www.sefaria.org/Psalms.2

The end of navi, the beginning of ketuvim - the conclusion of Malachi and the start of Tehillim. I suggest that in the final verse of all of navi, the most memorable of all nevi'im has his teshuva moment. Text here: https://www.sefaria.org/Malachi.3
