    The Seven Penitential Psalms (translation- The Grail Psalter) Ad privatum usum Cathedral of Saint Paul Saint Paul, MN Cathedral of Saint Paul 239 Selby Avenue Saint Paul MN 55102 Image of Cassiodorus from a 12thc English Manuscript The ancient tradition in the Church of the Penitential Psalmody (Psalms 6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, and 143) is rich. In the 5th century writings of Possidius, we learn that Saint Augustine: …ordered the Davidic Psalms, which are few in number concerning penance, to be copied for him, and lying in bed he used to look at those pages which had been placed on the opposite wall and read them, and wept profusely and con- tinuously (Vita S. Augustini, xxxi) The first unequivocal reference to the seven “penitential” psalms as a group dates back to Cassiodorus (d. 580 A.D.), in his Expositio Psalmorum. In his masterful commentary on the last psalm (143), he On the Front Cover. Uriah the Hittite receives a letter from wrote of the “course of their blessed tears” that has just been com- King David. Secret orders in the letter direct that Uriah, husband of pleted, noting that the journey that begins in affliction, leads us “to Bathsheba, be sent to the “forefront of the hottest battle... that the hope of joys.” he may be smitten and die.” Overpainted woodcut depicts a scene from the Old Testament book of 2 Samuel, Chapter 11. Prior to Vatican II, these psalms found a place in the Church’s litur- Paris, ca.1510 A.D..

  • The David of Psalm 51: Reading Psalm 51 in Light of Psalm 50 FREDERICK J
    Word & World Volume 23, Number 4 Fall 2003 The David of Psalm 51: Reading Psalm 51 in Light of Psalm 50 FREDERICK J. GAISER avid, according to Sirach, “sang praise with all his heart, and he loved his Maker.” He placed singers before the altar, to make sweet melody with their voices. He gave beauty to the festivals, and arranged their times throughout the year, while they praised God’s holy name, and the sanctuary resounded from early morning. (Sir 47:9–10) Biblical historians will rightly have to wrestle with the several anachronisms in that passage, but the inheritors of the tradition will rightly hear its resounding witness to the connection between David and worship, David and song, David and psalms.1 1Sirach’s view of David’s role in Israel’s worship and psalmody is apparently derived from the Chronicler. See especially 1 Chr 16:1–43; 23:2–5, 30–32. With clear thematic and literary connections, Ps 50 sets up Ps 51, providing the accusation and call to repentance that produce the confession of David and Israel in Ps 51. Reading Ps 51 in the light of Ps 50 enhances its meaning for us, call- ing us to task for our failures and our attempts to manipulate God to our ad- vantage while announcing the steadfast love of God that promises genuine renewal. 382 Copyright © 2003 by Word & World, Luther Seminary, Saint Paul, Minnesota. All rights reserved. The David of Psalm 51 Israel made these connections, and the church accepted them. The Psalter, in the tradition, is David’s book.2 Sirach tells us more about David, however: “The Lord took away his sins, and exalted his power forever; he gave him a covenant of kingship and a glorious throne in Israel” (Sir 47:11).

A Service of the Word is now offered as a resource for use by congregations of the Scottish Episcopal Church. The origins of a Service of the Word lie in early Jewish Sabbath day worship. When Jesus worshipped in the synagogue, he joined in liturgy largely based on the reading and exposition of Scripture, and the saying or singing of Psalms – a ‘Service of the Word’. Early Christian gatherings for worship were also based on this pattern, eventually combining with the Eucharist to provide the familiar shape of the Eucharistic liturgy of Word and Sacrament.

  • The Penitential Psalms 1
    THE PENITENTIAL PSALMS 1. Psalm 51 “Lord Have Mercy” ASH WEDNESDAY March 6, 2019 Rev. Jeffrey H. Rickards In preparation for Lent and a sermon series on the Penitential Psalms, I picked up and read Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s last published book before his imprisonment by the Nazis, The Psalms: Prayerbook of the Bible. For me, Bonhoeffer is a true descendant pastorally and theologically of Martin Luther. Like Luther, Bonhoeffer loved the Psalms, and saw them as a model for prayer. Bonhoeffer begins his pocket-sized book by reflecting on how the Psalms are prayers that God has given us in His Word to pray back to Him, just as Jesus taught us the Lord’s Prayer. I was particularly drawn to Bonhoeffer’s chapter simply titled “Guilt,” featuring the so-called “Seven Penitential or Repentance Psalms,” numbers 6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, and 143. This Lenten Season, we will sing, and I will preach on six of these psalms, starting with Psalm 51, and the plea, “Lord, have mercy on me” (v. 1). Bonhoeffer also calls these seven penitential psalms “the Pauline Psalms” for the way in which they “lead us to the confession of guilt and direct our complete confidence to the forgiving grace of God.” The Reformation theology of Martin Luther affirms that God’s gracious love, through Jesus Christ, removes our sins and creates us anew. Thus, for us Lutherans, the confession of sin and the assurance of pardon are weekly rituals in most of our churches. Yet rarely do we lift up these elements to be contemplated and celebrated.
