After “Sa rather busy spring season that includes Holy Week, Easter, first Com- munions, confirmations, graduations, Pentecost, and other parish events, no one can blame pastoral musicians and choirs for wanting to take a break. School’s out! Vacation beckons! But how long should the break be? I have been involved in some parishes where music ministry adjourns for the whole summer. Really? Three months without music in the liturgies? Twelve Sundays of minimal participation and lowered ex- pectations?

It’s a harking back to the pre–Vatican II designations of High Mass (a liturgy specialist at OCP, serves as a in which everything is sung) and Low Mass (a liturgy in which there is no music pastoral musician at Holy Trinity at all).

But the external participation that music so uniquely embodies is glaringly missing since “Singing is one of the primary ways that the assembly of the faithful participates actively in the Liturgy” (STL 26). Please understand that I am in no way advocating that pastoral musicians not take a well-deserved break. Our priests go on vacation. But they take care to ensure the parish Sunday liturgy continues by arranging substitute presiders during their ab- sence. Besides, when music ministry adjourns for the summer, I have noticed that many choir members are sitting in the pews at Sunday Mass anyway. One creative approach that we use at my parish was developed by Mark Nieves, our director of music ministry. Our choirs continue to sing at their assigned liturgies throughout the summer months, but we cancel weekly choir rehearsals until Sep- tember.

  • Psalm 31 Verses 1-13 Virtual Bible Study
    Psalm 31, Verses 1-13, Virtual Bible Study Transcript Hello everyone. We are continuing our study of the Psalms and this week, it is Psalm 31. Psalm 31 is a praise and thanks and prayer and comfort all at the same time. It's a wonderful prayer talking about God being our fortress and our rock. You can almost hear some of the themes of A Mighty Fortress is Our God in this and in several other things about the confidence that we have in God, our Savior. So let us get into it. Psalm 31. The 31st psalm is a universal psalm of thanks, a psalm of prayer, and a psalm of comfort, all at the same time. It is spoken in the person of Christ and of His saints, who, on account of the Word of God, are plagued their entire lives—inwardly with fears and troubles; outwardly with persecutions, slander, and contempt. Yet they are comforted and delivered by God out of all of them. This psalm belongs in the Second and Third Commandments and in the First and Second Petitions. So thus says Luther on Psalm 31. Now, Psalm 31. 1In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me! 2 Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me! 3 For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me; 4 you take me out of the net they have hidden for me, for you are my refuge.

  • Psalm 31 — a Rock of Refuge
    Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs: The Master Musician’s Melodies Bereans Sunday School Placerita Baptist Church 2004 by William D. Barrick, Th.D. Professor of OT, The Master’s Seminary Psalm 31 — A Rock of Refuge 1.0 Introducing Psalm 31 Psalm 31 has left its imprint on the lives of biblical personalities. Both Jonah and Jesus cited it in prayer. Jeremiah was captivated by one of its phrases. An anonymous psalmist repeated part of it in another psalm. When did David compose the psalm? The “besieged city” (v. 21) is probably Keilah (see 1 Sam 23:1-14). In current church liturgy Psalm 31:9-16 is the psalm selection for Passion Sunday. The words of Psalm 31:5a were the last words of Jesus, Stephen, John Huss, Martin Luther, Philip Melancthon, and many others. “When John Huss was condemned to be burned at the stake, the bishop who conducted the ceremony ended with the chilling words: ‘And now we commit thy soul to the devil.’ Huss replied calmly, ‘I commit my spirit into thy hands, Lord Jesus Christ; unto thee I commend my spirit, which thou has redeemed.’” — James Montgomery Boice, Psalms, 3 vols. (Grand Rapids, Mich.: Baker Books, 1994), 1:270. 2.0 Reading Psalm 31 (NAU) 31:1 A Psalm of David. In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed; In Your righteousness deliver me. 31:2 Incline Your ear to me, rescue me quickly; Be to me a rock of strength, A stronghold to save me.

  • Psalm 31 Author and Date
    Psalm 31 Title: Faith in the Midst of Foes Author and Date: David Key Verses: Psalm 31:1, 6, 14 Type: Lament / Thanksgiving Outline A. Trust: faith in God (verses 1-8). B. Trouble: foes against God (verses 9-18). C. Triumph: feelings about God (verses 19-22). D. Closing Exhortation (verses 23-24). Notes Title: “For the Chief Musician.” See the notes on Psalm 4. “A Psalm of David.” See the notes on Psalm 3. Verses 1-3: It is interesting to note that the same wording of these verses is also found in Psalm 71:1-3 with only minor changes. There, another psalmist may have been quoting these verses, or David himself may have been simply re-writing them. The theme of Psalm 31 is faith in the midst of foes, or trust in the midst of trouble. Verse 1: Israel has cities of refuge (Num. 35:6-15), but the Lord was to be their ultimate refuge. This psalm begins and ends with trust in the Lord (verses 1 and 24). Verse 3: “For thy name’s sake.” This is a common expression in the psalms (Psa. 23:3; 25:11; 79:9; 106:8; 109:21; 143:11). The psalmist makes certain requests of God so that when God acts, God will get the glory. God will show himself to be all who he says he is. God will act in keeping with his righteous character. Verse 5: “Into thy hand I commend my spirit.” Jesus died with these words on his lips (Lk. 23:46).

  • Psalm Beatitudes
    Psalm Beatitudes Psalm 32:1 A Maskil of David. A Psalm of instruction by David. (LXA) Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. 3 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. 4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah 5 I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD," and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah 6 Therefore let everyone who is godly offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him. 7 You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah 8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. 9 Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you. 10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the LORD. 11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart! Ps 33:1 (No superscription in the Hebrew) *A Psalm of David.
