Halakhah zu Berakhot 5:7

Although this passage is not quoted by the Rambam, the Shulchan Aruch, ¹This omission is quite puzzling in light of the fact that both the Rif (Berachot 21b and Sanhedrin 19b-20a in the Rif’s pages) and the Rosh (Berachot 5:1 and Sanhedrin 11:3) cite this passage as normative. or the Rama, the Magen Avraham (560:10) cites from the Maharil that it is improper to use pesukim as lyrics for songs that are sung at a “simchat merei’ut” (social gathering). The Taz (O.C 560:5) adopts a similar approach, and the Mishnah Berurah (560:14) and the Aruch Hashulchan (O.C. 560:7) cite the words of the Magen Avraham as normative.
