Simply, seventy-two singable Psalm lyrics are contained in this trimmed down version, without any added study annotations or footnotes. The first two volumes of the Psalms, here, are set to the rhythmic hymns of the Faith for personal and communal reflection in song or monologue. Are you seeking something new musically, with depths of Biblical truth? The Psalms offer time-honored traditions of expression describing the wonder of God during terror, disaster, lament, praise, gratitude and hope. These 72 Psalms are written to be sung to favorite hymns. Sing them a' capella or bump them up in your preferred style. Use them for purposes of evening and morning worship cycles, theatrical recitals and antiphonal choirs. The term, "Psalms," in the Hebrew means "Praises." Let the message about the Messiah dwell richly among you, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, and singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, with gratitude in your hearts to God. Colossians 3:16 (HCSB) The wisdom of God's law lives in the human soul. It informs nature, architecture, medicine and science. It creates lament, repentance, awe and comfort. It also infuses goodness into one's choices and activities. God's wisdom is like a mirror reflecting His personality, His desires, His power. Ancient prayers of witnesses, reciting the Lord's acts of lovingkindness and odd silences, help us now sing praise to the God of our Faith within the reflection of this mirror. My hope is, by reciting or singing these Psalms, our souls are transformed by a new awareness of God's awesome presence. May the Psalms translate into spiritual works, those daily refractions of love and light into communities.
