To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David." It is thought by some that the Chief Musician is God. Others believe that it could be a leader of choirs when David wrote this. Perhaps Heman the singer, mentioned in 1 Chronicles 6:33, or Asaph, mentioned in 1 Chronicles 16:5-7. Jeduthun was one of the musicians appointed by David to lead the public worship of Israel. We read his name in 1 Chronicles 16:41 and 1 Chronicles 25:1-3. This psalm, as the title makes clear, was written by King David, but we do not know at what point in his life. Comments on Psalm 39 Verse 7 says, “And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You." When, like David, we understand the frailty and how fleeting is our life, where else can we put our hope but in the Eternal God
