What is this a function of? In two of the Psalms we hear the levitical worship leader and prophet taking part in a service of worship, challenging the worshipers to believe in their hearts what they have said with their lips and to do in their lives what they have heard with their ears (Pss 81:5b-16; 95:7b-11). This dynamic role was woven into their ministry of sacred song.

What is this a function of? In 25:1-3 we have 3 references to these levitical worship leaders prophesying and 3 references of them doing so under royal supervision (David directing Asaph and his sons, who direct the sons of Heman and Jeduthun, who, in turn, direct the worship leaders—cf 25:6). This is important to note, because we see the freedom of prophetic inspiration working harmoniously under the structure of strong authority. It can be done in God’s economy.

What is this a function of? In 25:7, we see high standards set forth: all of these levitical worship leaders were “trained and skilled in music for the Lord.” In the Jewish Talmud it is stated that these singers and musicians were diligently trained for a minimum of 5 years before they could perform these duties.

What is this a function of? In pre-exilic times there were temple prophets who had an important role alongside the priests, esp. in transmitting divine answers to prayers of lament brought in times of national or personal crisis. In Ps 85:8-13, such a prophet delivers God’s one-word answer, “peace,” and proceeds to expound its meaning to a distressed people. Their ministry underlies the “Do not fear” of Lam 3:57.
