Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth,

The physical effects of music on the mental and emotional state is astounding.
This was the case with King Saul. In the first biblical record of music therapy,
1 Samuel 16:23 reads: “And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul,
that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well,
and the evil spirit departed from him.”
Just as God created nutritious food, fresh air and clean water to enhance our health,
He also made music with physically edifying properties.
more and more studies are revealing the positive effects of music
on the brain and even on physical health.

David’s rise as a young man coincided with the decline of Saul, who had lost God’s Holy Spirit
and was being harassed by demons. Under heavy demonic influence, Saul became deeply
discouraged—he alternated between suicidal depression and fiery rage (verses 14-15).
His emotional instability tormented him so much that his advisers became gravely concerned
about his well-being. Finally, Saul agreed to have them find someone who could play soothing
music to comfort him (verses 16-17).
Verse 18: “Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse
the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war,
and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the Lord is with him.”
These characteristics of David may not have been widely known to others at the time,
but this individual in the king’s court obviously knew David and was well aware of his
unique skill set. He knew David was an accomplished musician and that he was
“prudent in matters”—meaning he was a skillful communicator. During his life,
David probably wrote hundreds of poems, psalms and songs.
After this glowing review from his servant, Saul arranged to have David come play for him .
Verse 21 says, “And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly;
and he became his armourbearer.”
God chose David to be king. David loved Saul greatly. He loved people.
And he demonstrated that godly love by his actions.

5And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments
made of fir wood,even on harps,and on psalteries,and on timbrels,and on cornets,and on cymbals.
16And as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window,
and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

A Cellular Dance
In 1998, a Nobel Prize-winning discovery showed how cells in our bodies create nitric oxide in waves, releasing the gas into the body tissue around them in a process called puffing. This “puffing” can boost cell vitality and vascular flow, aid in resisting stress, strengthen the immune system, diminish depression, improve digestion and impart higher levels of energy, stamina and mental clarity. Dr. John Beaulieu found that when humans listen simply to tuning forks—not to mention certain other types of music—their cells automatically puff.
More recently, Dr. Michael Miller of the Center for Preventive Cardiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center found a similar effect of this release of nitric oxide on the heart. He said that listening to music that we consider “joyful” can cause “endothelial tissue (a layer of cells lining the interior surface of blood vessels) to expand, thereby increasing blood flow to the heart and other vital organs” (medifasthealth.org, Aug. 31, 2009).
The American Heart Association published a study in 2009 stating that musical phrases 10 seconds or longer can cause the heart to synchronize its “inherent cardiovascular rhythm” to the beat of the music (americanheart.mediaroom.com, June 22, 2009).
Luciano Bernardi, head researcher in the study, said, “It is not only the emotion that creates the cardiovascular changes, but this study suggests that also the opposite might be possible, that cardiovascular changes may be the substrate for emotions, likely in a bi-directional way.”
