Psalm 52B - Old 77th

[Coram Deo]

This is fast becoming one of my favorite Psalms and the tune that is used for it is stunning and beautiful.. The Book of Psalms for Singing uses the Old 77th which is a old Genevan Melody from the Geneva Psalter.....

The Melody is both Majestic and aweing.... Very Heavenly.....

 

[AV1611]

Nice.

My current fave is Psalm 130, sung with Erin if that means anything to you:

Lord, from the depths to thee I cry'd.
My voice, Lord, do thou hear:
Unto my supplication's voice
give an attentive ear.

Lord, who shall stand, if thou, O Lord,
should'st mark iniquity?
But yet with thee forgiveness is,
that fear'd thou mayest be.

I wait for God, my soul doth wait,
my hope is in his word.
More than they that for morning watch,
my soul waits for the Lord;

I say, more than they that do watch
the morning light to see.
Let Israel hope in the Lord,
for with him mercies be;

And plenteous redemption
is ever found with him.
And from all his iniquities
he Isr'el shall redeem.

For me it will always be

Psalm 121

A Song of degrees.

Psalm 121:1-8 (French, CM)

1 I to the hills will lift mine eyes,
from whence doth come mine aid.
2 My safety cometh from the Lord,
who heav'n and earth hath made.

3 Thy foot he'll not let slide, nor will
he slumber that thee keeps.
4 Behold, he that keeps Israel,
he slumbers not, nor sleeps.

5 The Lord thee keeps, the Lord thy shade
on thy right hand doth stay:
6 The moon by night thee shall not smite,
nor yet the sun by day.

7 The Lord shall keep thy soul; he shall
preserve thee from all ill.
8 Henceforth thy going out and in
God keep for ever will.
