    Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs: the Master Musician's Melodies

    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 Messianic Trilogy: Part Two Psalm 23 — The Shepherd King 1.0 Introducing Psalm 23 Psalm 23 is “the pearl of Psalms” and “the nightingale of the Psalms.”— C. H. Spurgeon, The Treasury of David, 3 vols. (Peabody, Mass.: Hendrickson Publishers, n.d.), 1:353 and Henry Ward Beecher, in “Life Thoughts,” cited in The Treasury of David, 1:357. This psalm is the middle of the three psalms in this trilogy: Psalm Psalm 22 Psalm 23 Psalm 24 Person Servant Shepherd Sovereign Ministry Suffering Providing Reigning Time Past Present Future Symbol Cross Crook Crown Edward Irving: “at forty-two, his gaunt gigantic frame bore all the marks of age and weakness. His face was wasted, his hair white, his voice broken, his eyes restless and unquiet. As November drew to its close his feebleness increased, till it was evident that his life was rapidly passing away. His mind began to wander. Those who watched at his bedside could not understand the broken utterances spoken in an unknown tongue by his faltering voice. But at last it was found that he was repeating to himself in Hebrew, Psalm xxiii., ‘The Lord is my Shepherd.’ It was with something like its old power that the dying voice swelled as it uttered the glorious conviction, ‘Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.’ The last articulate words that fell from his lips were, ‘If I die, I die unto the Lord, Amen.’ And with these he passed away at midnight on Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs 2 Barrick, Placerita Baptist Church 2004 December 7th, 1834.” — Rowland E.

    Opening Scripture: Psalm 27:1-3 –

    (Devotional #1) An Introduction to Psalm 23 The Psalm of the Great Shepherd INTRODUCTION – Opening Scripture: Psalm 27:1-3 – The LORD is my light and my salvation Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Whom shall I dread? When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies stumbled and fell. Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me, In spite of this I shall be confident. Proposition: Yahweh, the Great Shepherd, Directs the Lives of His People. This will be the theme we will emphasize in our treatment of Psalm 23. On the morning after his Mother’s death, the Commentator, John Phillips found her Bible near the bedside where she had died. It was open to the 23rd Psalm –– Written in the margin of this great Psalm were these words: ‘THE SECRET OF A HAPPY LIFE, A HAPPY DEATH, AND A HAPPY ETERNITY.’ As our church faces the unique challenges of the next few weeks, we (Rocky and Jeff) want to encourage you with the words and the teachings of this wonderful Psalm. This first lesson or devotional, or whatever the appropriate term is, will put this wonderful Psalm in the context of the Book of Psalms, then in three successive installments, we will view the Psalm as it addresses ‘THE SECRET OF A HAPPY LIFE, ‘THE SECRET OF A HAPPY DEATH, AND THE SECRET OF A HAPPY ETERNITY.’ Psalm 23 was written by David. We know this because at some time in the distant past, the Rabbis wrote two Hebrew words above this psalm.

    Daily Devotions in the Psalms Psalm 129-133

    Daily Devotions in the Psalms Psalm 129-133 Monday 12th October - Psalm 129 “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth”— let Israel now say— 2 “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me. 3 The plowers ploughed upon my back; they made long their furrows.” 4 The Lord is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked. 5 May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward! 6 Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up, 7 with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms, 8 nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the Lord be upon you! We bless you in the name of the Lord!” It is interesting that Psalm 128 and 129 sit side by side. They seem to sit at odds with one another. Psalm 128 speaks of Yahweh blessing his faithful people. They enjoy prosperity and the fruit of their labour. It is a picture of peace and blessing. And then comes this Psalm, clunking like a car accidentally put into reverse. Here we see a people long afflicted (v. 1-2). As a nation, they have had their backs ploughed. And the rest of the Psalm prays for the destruction of the wicked nations and individuals who would seek to harm and destroy Israel. It’s possible that this Psalm makes you feel uncomfortable, or even wonder if this Psalm is appropriate for the lips of God’s people.
  • —Come and See What God Has Done“: the Psalms of Easter*

    —Come and See What God Has Done“: the Psalms of Easter*

    Word & World 7/2 (1987) Copyright © 1987 by Word & World, Luther Seminary, St. Paul, MN. All rights reserved. page 207 Texts in Context “Come and See What God Has Done”: The Psalms of Easter* FREDERICK J. GAISER Luther Northwestern Theological Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota “Whenever the Psalter is abandoned, an incomparable treasure vanishes from the Christian church. With its recovery will come unsuspected power.”1 It is possible to agree with Bonhoeffer’s conviction without being naive about the prospect of this happening automatically by a liturgical decision to incorporate the psalms into Sunday morning worship. Not that this is not a good and needed corrective; it is. In many of those worship services the psalms had become nothing more than the source of traditional versicles—little snippets to provide the proper mood of piety in the moments of transition between things that mattered. Yet the Psalter never went away, despite its liturgical neglect. The church called forth psalms in occasional moments of human joy and tragedy, poets paraphrased them for the hymnals, and faithful Christians read and prayed them for guidance and support in their own lives. But now many Christian groups have deliberately re-established the psalms as a constitutive element in regular public worship. What will the effect of this be? Some congregations have found them merely boring-another thing to sit through—which suggests a profound need for creative thinking about how and where to use the psalms so people can hear and participate in the incredible richness and dramatic power of the life within them.

    In 1965, Leonard Bernstein received a commission from the 1965 Southern Cathedral Festival to compose a piece for the cathedral choirs of Chichester, Winchester, and Salisbury. The result was the three-movement Chichester Psalms, a choral setting of a number of Hebrew psalm texts. This is Bernstein's version of church music: rhythmic, dramatic, yet fundamentally spiritual. The piece opens with the choir proclaiming Psalm 108, verse 2 (Awake, psaltery and harp!). This opening figure (particularly the upward leap of a minor seventh) recurs throughout the piece. The introduction leads into Psalm 100 (Make a joyful noise unto the Lord), a 7/4 dance that fits the joyous mood of the text. At times, this movement sounds like something out of West Side Story - it is percussive, with driving dance rhythms. The second movement starts with Psalm 23, with only a solo boy soprano and harp (suggesting David); the sopranos of the choir enter, repeating the solo melody. Suddenly and forcefully, the men interrupt in the middle of the Psalm 23 text (just after "Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me") with Psalm 2. The setting of this text differs greatly from the flowing melodic feel of Psalm 23; it is evocative of the conflict in the text, with the men at times almost shouting. The men's voices gradually fade, and the initial peaceful melody returns (along with the rest of the Psalm 23 text), with the men continuing underneath. Movement 3 begins with an instrumental introduction based on the opening figure of the piece. The choir then enters with Psalm 131, set in a fluid 10/4 meter.

    Psalm 130 Pastor Jason Van Bemmel a Song of Ascents. 1 out of the Depths I Cry to You, O LORD!

    Out of the Depths, Redemption! Psalm 130 Pastor Jason Van Bemmel A Song of Ascents. 1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD! 2 O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy! 3 If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? 4 But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared. 5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; 6 my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning. 7 O Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption. 8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities. Introduction: Singing the Blues to God I love music, and I tend to like music that has a bit of a dark edge to it – good music, that is, like the blues. I enjoyed listening to Muddy Waters on the flight back from Dubai in July. My favorite Christian singer-songwriter is Andrew Peterson, who also tends to have a raw, honest edge to his music, which is both dark and hopeful, a blend of melancholy and joy. Perhaps the same thing which makes my taste is music tend toward the blues also makes me love Psalm 130. I don’t know if I can say for sure that Psalm 130 is my absolute favorite psalm. That’s almost like asking me which of my children is my favorite.
