    When a Psalm starts with, “The Lord is a God who avenges,” you know it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Indeed, Psalm 94 does not disappoint. It is a tirade against the proud and powerful, decrying their lies and schemes against the defenseless. As this Psalm points out, God sees all. We don’t know when it will happen, but God, our Refuge, will set things right. We pray with the Psalmist that it won’t be long.

    Psalm 95 is a two part Psalm: verses 1-5 sing to a God who creates; verses 6-11 tell us of a God who relates. This, combined with the repeated “Come!” motif, makes this song a good choice for a call to worship or a transition into confession.

    Psalm 97 proclaims that God is above all other gods. To our ears, this may seem an odd declaration, but surrounded by polytheistic cultures, the Psalmists took great pains to differentiate Israel’s God from the many neighboring gods of sea, harvest, and fire. Here, the point is made by portraying God as a mysterious, all-powerful deity before whom mountains melt like wax. It’s pretty awesome stuff, really.

    It seems like everyone has their own version of Psalm 98, but each generation needs a “new song” so I make no apologies for adding my voice to the fray! This song was chosen to be sung at COLAM 1999 (Conference on Liturgy and Music) at Dordt College as part of the Composition Competition.

    Psalm 99 is a vision of God on the heavenly throne, surrounded by the mighty cherubim. In this vision, God’s feet rest on the earth— on Zion, to be exact. The temple in Zion was seen as the epicenter of God’s presence on earth. From there, God’s blessings spread throughout the whole world. The rest of the Psalm counts these blessings: justice, answered prayer, and forgiveness.

    This song is based on the Song of Hezekiah (Isaiah 38:10-20). You’ll remember that Hezekiah was told he would die, but he prayed for reprieve, reminding the Lord of his faithfulness. God sent Isaiah to tell Hezekiah that his prayer had been heard and that he would give him 15 more years of life. In response, Hezekiah sang a song of thanksgiving. I was drawn to the way this canticle boldly reminds God that “dead people don’t praise the Lord.” I liked how it connected with standard formulas of lament in the Psalms, and mirrored Christ’s descent into death and resurrection.

    While there are many Psalm 23 songs to choose from, this one from Indonesia has a gentle spirit that cuts right to the heart of the Psalm, helping us feel the complete trust the sheep feels for the shepherd. It makes the metaphor personal, so we can offer the words of Psalm 23 as our own prayer.
