“There is the sweetest music—what we have experienced, what we have felt within, what we have made our own—‘the things which we have made touching the King.’ It is not enough to hear about Jesus: mere hearing may tune the harp, but the fingers of living faith must create the music.” (from Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon)
To sing the psalms is one of the great privileges of the Christian life. The practice of singing God's Word allows believers to participate in the prophetic forth-telling of God's promises for all generations.

Psalms set to music
Psalm 1 describes the man who is perfectly blessed. Who is he? Christ is the One whom the psalmist exalts. He alone can qualify for this honor. Yet in His unfathomable mercy, the Lord has chosen to attribute to His people the righteousness of the blessed man: our Savior, Jesus Christ.
“I delight greatly in the LORD;
my soul rejoices in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness…” ~ Isaiah 61:10a
