The Sons of Korah

Of the one hundred and fifty Psalms, there are twelve attributed to the sons of Korah. They were special Psalms to be sung by special people. The mercy of God had spared them from the destruction that their ancestor Korah had deserved (see Numbers 16). They went through death and out of death into resurrection life. They became the children of mercy and grace-sons of the cross. Through this experience of the cross, they appreciated God uniquely and were called to be the doorkeepers and singers in His temple. They dedicated themselves to God in a living way. Out of the abundance of their hearts, they could sing these songs to God.

In this volume, four of these Psalms are considered in detail along with their main themes of:

HOPE-Psalm 42 (43),
FAITH-Psalm 44,
LOVE-Psalm 45, and
VICTORY-Psalm 46.

These sons of the cross could sing from the fullness of their hearts and out of their experience. As we too have received the mercy of God, may our hearts also overflow with worship and praise as we consider these Psalms of the sons of Korah.
