Pesukei d’Zimra - The Early History

[@danielmm8842]

As I am starting to lehitpalel more than before I appreciate these commentary! I wish I had more time to do the tefilah. Kol hakavod!

Thank you so much for this series-- it's amazing! On tehilah l'daveed (often referred to as "ashrei": the two lines before Tehila L'Daveed are both from different Psalms. The first אשרי line is from Psalm 84:5; the 2nd אשרי line is from Psalm 144:15. After that is the acrostic that starts with Tehila l'daveed. I'm wondering if you could mention how those two prior lines became connected to T'hilah L'daveed, and when that happened. And also in T'hilah L'daveed was the original acrostic written with the verse starting with נ (letter nun) & then it was removed or was there never a נ verse at any time?
