Psalm 112

Psalm 112 is a wisdom psalm describing the one who fears the LORD. This setting uses a psalm paraphrase from Sing Psalms (©Free Church of Scotland) and an original melody by Joel Stamoolis.

Psalm 123

Psalms 120-134 are called Psalms of Ascent, most likely because they were sung by worshipers ascending to Jerusalem for the annual festivals. In Psalm 123, the worshipers look humbly to the LORD God for mercy. To sing Psalm 123 we used lyrics by Joel Stamoolis (©2010) set to the melody of the Bourree II in J.S. Bach's Cello Suite No. 4. This recording features Naomi Stamoolis on vocals and English horn and Joel Stamoolis on vocals and guitar.

Psalm 122

Psalms 120-134 are called Psalms of Ascent, most likely because they were sung by worshipers ascending to Jerusalem for the annual festivals. In Psalm 122, the psalmist rejoices at having arrived in Jerusalem, the city of the LORD's house and anointed King. To sing Psalm 122 we set lyrics from Sing Psalms (©2003 Free Church of Scotland) to the melody "Hyfrdol" ("Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus") by Rowland Prichard (1830). This recording features Andrea Sandefur, Naomi Stamoolis, and Dennis DeWinter on vocals, and Joel Stamoolis on vocals and guitar.

Psalm 121

Psalms 120-134 are called Psalms of Ascent, most likely because they were sung by worshipers ascending to Jerusalem for the annual festivals. In Psalm 121, the psalmist looks to the hills of Jerusalem and remembers that our help for the journey, and indeed for all of life, comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. To sing Psalm 121 we used an original setting by Andrea Sandefur (©2015). This recording features Andrea Sandefur and Naomi Stamoolis on vocals and Joel Stamoolis on guitar.
