Psalm Singing – May 2024

Once again, Sue and I have continued recording Psalm singing from the psalter we use. And again, we always hope others will want to learn the Psalms and that this might encourage and help them in that.

The next set was 113A-118C.

And this set was a little different. If you’ll note, our last blog post about singing was back in February. We were able to get this next set recorded so quickly because we had already learned them before. And this is because in times past here, we as a group would gather and go through a Passover seder, but in a way that was a fulfillment-version of Passover pointing to Christ Jesus. And so, the seder went through the normal Passover elements but then showed what they pointed to either in the Old Testament, with the sufferings of God’s people in Egypt, or again, with Christ as the fulfillment, especially as the Passover Lamb.

And then as part of the seder, we would sing through one of the versions of each of the Psalms 113-118, as those are part of what’s called “The Hallel”, which apparently were sung at Passover.

And so, that’s why Sue and I already know them and were able to get them recorded so quickly. 🙂

And here they are:

May we always be in an attitude and voice of praise to the Lord!

Psalm 113:1-3:

1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.

2 Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore.

3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord’s name is to be praised.

— David
