So what could be the interpretation? The classical interpretation, the Midrashim say that both Mizmorim are talking about different times.
So the first Mizmor- For the first temple ... was talking about the destruction of the first temple.
And the second one- And the second Mizmor talks about the destruction of the second temple.
How else could you interpret this based on what we know about Tehillim? It could be that, y- you know, we-- again, we said there was a process in organizing the Tehillim and whoever was the organizer, whether it was David HaMelech or whether it was the Anshei Knesset HaGedolah who organized all these different Mizmorim, it could be that this Mizmor, they had two traditions of it of s- of some sort.
This means out of place.
It should've been there, but it was just- No, not out of place They wanted to write again.
They just-- they wanted to pre-- they bo-- they wanted to preserve.
There are minute differences in the Mizmorim.

Now, I don't know why they put them so- David, David was not there when the temple was even built.
They say that was done by Nevu'ah.

His son built the first temple.
Yeah, he made just the design.
[laughs] So what is he, what is he talking about things that are happening four hundred years later, eight hundred years later? So according to the Midrashim, you say that David is acting through Nevu'ah.
These Midrashim.
They're back in business, huh? The Midrashim are always back in business.
You, you use Midrashim.
The, i- the- You accept them.
[laughs] No, no. I- I'll tell you.
You accept them on Sunday, you don't like them.
[laughs] I, I, I-- Midrashim, to my honest opin-- my-- honestly, I think Midrashim are the, the, the joy of Torah learning.
