PSALM 19

 

Since the psalms were written to be read aloud or even sung, I like creating staged versions of them that help us experience them in a way that might approximate the way Israelites first heard them. This is one of my favourites, involving four actors, a pray-er and a singer.

Lines are written to overlap, not calamitously but dancing together, sometimes matching, dipping, connecting and separating. I love free singing, so I ask the singer to come up with an ad lib tune (accompanied or not on guitar) but you could also write a particular tune if you like.

This was written for a worship service and when we performed it the guest speaker was completely overwhelmed. I’m always happy to write this sort of piece, because I feel like it helps us back into hearing God’s Word freshly, fully, and in ways that might change our hearts.

The heavens command the skies to say

Look! This is God’s glory
