This chapter is recited 7 times before the Shofar is sounded.
What does it mean? -

With its famous chorus line that we recite at Havdallah, this chapter celebrates God as the protector of His holy city and His nation.
-
Tehillim. Psalm 45 - Who is the King?
This is a coronation Psalm, and, it would seem, a royal wedding.
But who is the king? And who is his bride? -
Tehilllim. Psalm 44 - Protest!
This chapter has three segments:
1. How God always fought the battles of the Jewish People, He was their strength, pride and protection.
2. But now God has abandoned us to defeat, dispersion, derision and slaughter.
3. But Israel has retained their loyalty to God. God! Why have you abandoned us? -
Tehillim. Psalm 43 - Who are the "Sons of Korach"?
Psalm 42-49 are all Psalms of the Bnei Korach. What is their story? Who is this group?
-
Tehillim. Psalm 42 - Craving for God
"As the deer craves streams of water, so my soul craves for you, my God.My soul thirsts for God, for the living God."
Who is thirsting for God? Why? Where is he? What is the back-story?
