Psalm 3

(Maybe it's good idea to add some of the words of original Psalm.)

[SUP]3 [/SUP]But you, Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]I call out to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy mountain.

[SUP]5 [/SUP]I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]I will not fear though tens of thousands
assail me on every side.

Psalm 6 (reconstructed original hebrew version)


Suzanne Haïk-Vantoura
(née Vantoura) (13 July 1912 – 22 October 2000) was an organist, music teacher, composer and music theorist. Her magnum opus was in the field of musicology...

"Music of the Bible Revealed
" was her magnum opus; a massive work covering the entire Hebrew Bible, decoding the cantillation marks (as musical notes which support the syntax and meaning of the words) of its 24 books, to music...

Psalm 6 ... is one of David's most emotional in Hebrew. It is also one of the most characteristically "Davidic" in its melodic-verbal style. Some if not most commentators believe that it was most likely written after his affair with Bathsheba (and during its long-term consequences)...

Psalm 8: East meets West.

Wojciech Bobowski
or Ali Ufki (also Albertus Bobovius, Ali Bey, Santurî Ali Ufki; 1610–1675) was a Polish musician and dragoman in the Ottoman Empire. He translated the Bible into Ottoman Turkish, composed an Ottoman Psalter, based on the Genevan metrical psalter, and wrote a grammar of the Ottoman Turkish language. His musical works are considered among the most important in 17th-century Ottoman music...

Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck April or May, 1562 in Deventer – 16 October 1621 in Amsterdam) was a Dutch composer, organist, and pedagogue whose work straddled the end of the Renaissance and beginning of the Baroque eras. He was among the first major keyboard composers of Europe, and his work as a teacher helped establish the north German organ tradition...

Sweelinck represents the highest development of the Dutch keyboard school, and indeed represented a pinnacle in keyboard contrapuntal complexity and refinement before J.S. Bach. However, he was a skilled composer for voices as well, and composed more than 250 vocal works (chansons, madrigals, motets and Psalms)...

Gosh, I had almost forgotten about this thread.
Shame on me! ;)

Psalm 9
[SUP]​[/SUP]I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
I will be glad and rejoice in you;
I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High...

Psalm 12

[SUP]1 [/SUP]Help, Lord, for no one is faithful anymore;
those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]Everyone lies to their neighbor;
they flatter with their lips
but harbor deception in their hearts.

[SUP]3 [/SUP]May the Lord silence all flattering lips
and every boastful tongue—
[SUP]4 [/SUP]those who say,
“By our tongues we will prevail;
our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”...
