Psalms - the music of the Bible. The melodies are long lost, but the
words continue in our souls to this day, three thousand years after David began
this collection. There are two reasons for this popularity:
 | First, Hebrew poetry rhymes in thought, not in sound. "The Lord
is my shepherd" rhymes in thought with, "I shall not
want." This means that all languages will find the Psalms to be
beautiful. |
 | Next, they are exquisitely expressive. Have you ever gone to a card
shop to pick out just the right card that says things the way you wish you
could say them? The Psalms serve that function too. |
