Midrash Tehillim\u00a0(\u05de\u05d3\u05e8\u05e9 \u05ea\u05d4\u05dc\u05d9\u05dd) or\u00a0Midrash to The Psalms\u00a0is a\u00a0haggadic midrash\u00a0known since the 11th century, when it was quoted by\u00a0Nathan of Romein his\u00a0Aruk<\/i>\u00a0(s.v. \u05e1\u05d7\u05e8), by R.\u00a0Isaac ben Judah ibn Ghayyat\u00a0in his\u00a0Halakot<\/i>\u00a0(1b), and by\u00a0Rashi\u00a0in his commentary on I\u00a0Sam.\u00a017:49, and on many other passages.\u00a0 This midrash is also called “Agadat Tehillim” (Rashi\u00a0on\u00a0Deut.\u00a033:7 and many other passages), or “Haggadat Tehillim” (Aruk,<\/i>\u00a0s.v. \u05e1\u05e2\u05e8, and in six other passages). From the 12th century it was called also\u00a0Shocher Tov\u00a0(see\u00a0Midrash Tehillim<\/i>, ed.\u00a0S. Buber, Introduction, pp.\u00a035 et seq.), because it begins with the verse Mishley \/ Proverbs 11:27, “\u05e9\u05d7\u05e8 \u05d8\u05d5\u05d1 \u05d9\u05d1\u05e7\u05e9 \u05e8\u05e6\u05d5\u05df \u05d5\u05d3\u05e8\u05e9 \u05e8\u05e2\u05d4 \u05ea\u05d1\u05d5\u05d0\u05e0\u05d5” The midrash contains a number of stories, legends, parables, proverbs, and sentences, with many ethical and\u00a0halakic\u00a0maxims.\u00a0The midrash contains homilies on the Psalms and comments on single verses and even on single words. The homilies are as a rule introduced with the formula “as Scripture says.”<\/p>\n
