MIZMOR LE-DAVID
MIZMOR LE-DAVID (Heb. מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד; "A Psalm to David"), a frequently occurring superscription to a number of psalms whose authorship is ascribed to King david . Many of them form part of the traditional liturgy. Among them are (1) Psalm 29 ("Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye sons of might"), the last of the six psalms chanted at the Sabbath eve service at which the Sabbath is welcomed; and on Sabbath mornings, after the conclusion of the torah reading , when the Torah scroll is carried back in solemn procession to the ark . (2) Psalm 23 ("The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want"), which in the Sephardi ritual is sung prior to the kiddush on Sabbath morning, and in the Ashkenazi ritual, on Sabbath afternoon at the third meal (seudah shelishit ). According to one talmudic opinion (Pes. 118a), it was also sung as a festive hymn at the Passover seder . -BIBLIOGRAPHY: JE, 8 (1904), 624–5; Elbogen, Gottesdienst, index S.V. Psalm 29.
