Psalms

We Look To You (Psalm 123)

Keith Clemenger

We are God’s servants in a world that scorns our trust in God. In some other psalms God’s people begin with their own search for solutions, but here from the very beginning the poet looks up to God, the king of heaven. The psalm is a lament, with no immediate resolution in sight. Instead, in the midst of need, it describes a servant’s humble, attentive, persistent stance: looking to God for mercy.

Be Still and Know

David Kai

A complete remake of my song based on Psalm 46. It is written in a Contemporary Christian/Christian Rock/80's synth style. Like many Psalms, it contains elements of questioning, challenge and finally, faith. The calm choruses contrast with the wordy, stream-of-thought verses, providing a faithful assurance in our times of doubt and confusion. Note that this recording is in the key of F# while the printed music is in the key of F.

Taste And See (Psalms 34)

Ineke Marsman-Polhuijs

This song started with a challenge: 'write a song about rest'. I was just reading Psalm 34 that week: Taste. See. Pondering on what that might mean, I realised that to really taste or see, I needed to pause, to rest, so I could focus on what my senses noticed. I decided to write about this Psalm and working on it, I found out it ministered to me. The song kept coming back when facing a small surgery I was really afraid of. I listened to the song over and over again and also sang it to others. It is the opening song of my first album as I hope my songs will help others to taste and see that the Lord is good.

Be Still My Soul

Phil Boothroyd, Andy Biggs

'He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”' Inspired by Psalm 46:10 this song describes what that 'being still' looks like for me in every day life. It serves as an affirmation before God that, though I struggle with it, I will seek to be obedient. It also serves as a reminder to myself that not only is this something I should do, but that ultimately it is for my benefit. I'm very grateful to Andy Biggs for giving his time to help improve the sound of the very rough recording I sent him. Both using his production skills to get the best out of the recording I sent, and adding in additional instrumentation to give it a richer overall sound.

Blessings From Zion (Psalm 128)

Keith Clemenger

In the Psalms, Zion is not merely a name for Jerusalem, but a poetic reference to the place where God dwells, and where his blessing is available to his people. While the blessing is all from God, we do not receive it passively, but reach out for it actively in trust and obedience. Joy and peace begin in the fear of God, following Jesus in all our endeavors. As we trust God to provide, he will restore us in his time: individually, in our families, and in his kingdom to come.
