Today's readings are Psa 46-50. 

Psa 46 - Pilgrimage  (Sons of Korah trust God's refuge)
Psa 47 - Enthronement  (Sons of Korah praise God's sovereignty)
Psa 48 - Pilgrimage (Sons of Korah praise God's city)

Most of today's Psalms are all ascribed to the Sons of Korah, Levites, and descendants of Kohath, who challenged Aaron's priestly position in Numbers 16 with disastrous results.  By the time we see them in 1 Chronicles, the Korahites have been relegated to gatekeepers and bakers in the Temple. Some of their history rises up on these Psalms. Their devotion and worship, in spite of things having turned out different than they expected, is an encouragement and a fine example.
