Sue and I finished recording the next set of Psalms from our psalter, Psalm 120-126B!
As always, we hope someday someone will find these helpful in learning to sing Psalms for themselves and their families too. 🙂

The Psalms are blessed chapters in a blessed book of Psalms in a blessed book, the Bible! Sue and I like singing them, and hope someday these recordings will help others do that as well, which is why we do these.
And with that, we finished all of Psalm 119 — 119M-119X, from our psalter.
A little note on this one: The last one, X, is written partially in a 4-part round, with the tenor part being the melody, so Sue and I did that first together (we both did it to try to make sure the melody came out), and then Sue did the alto part, I then made my sad attempt at the bass part (we had to bump the key up a couple of times just so I could hit the low note when it came up twice, and in all honesty, I slightly altered the pitch on a couple of those solo-measure places to get myself in tune…wow 🙁 ), and then Sue did the soprano part. And so, it’s a bit different than the others, and musically, it was a little extra fun. 🙂
But without further ado, here they are:

Once again, this Psalm focuses much on loving God’s law, statues, and commandments, and the desire to obey them.
Loving God and obeying Him are directly tied together.
Christ said:
John 14:15 – “If ye love me, keep my commandments.“
John 14:21 – “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.“
John 15:10 – “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.“
And John said:
1 John 5:2-3 – “2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.“
Our church has been going through Psalm 119 in our Sunday School time, and they’re on SermonAudio as a series, if you might be interested.
Again, may the Lord grant us that desire and obedience, and may we love His commandments because they come from Him, the One whom we love!
Psalm 119:171 – “My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.“
Sue and I have continued on with recording the Psalms so hopefully others will be able to learn them, and we just wrapped up the next set, this time starting down the Psalm 119 path, Psalm 119A-119L in our psalter.
This set is only half of the 119 Psalms, and here they are:

Psalm 119:7 – “I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.“
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. 🙂

Sue and I have continued on working through our psalter to learn and record them, and we just finished the next group — Psalms 108A-112B. Our hope always is people will use these as help to learn them themselves.

We have continued to work through learning the Psalms from the psalter we use, and have finished recording them — Psalms 106A-107E, in the hopes they might help someone be able to learn them too and sing them to the Lord.

We just completed recording the next set of Psalms from the psalter we use, Psalms 104A-105E. We always hope doing this might help others learn them…we have found singing God’s word in the form of the Psalms a great blessing!

Heb. 11:8-10 - "By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God."
