Psalm 119:137-144 (Tsadhe)

Psalm 119 is an acrostic prayer song celebrating God's word. Psalm 119 was written as 22 eight verse stanzas, one for each of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The first eight verses of Psalm 119 all begin with the Hebrew letter Aleph. The next eight verses begin with the Hebrew letter Beth. This pattern continues through the rest of the psalm. Each verse of this stanza begins with the Hebrew letter Tsadhe, the first letter in the Hebrew words for righteous and righteousness, a major theme in this stanza,.

To sing the eighteenth stanza of Psalm 119 we set lyrics by Sing Psalms (©2003 Free Church of Scotland) to a melody by Joel Stamoolis.

This recording features Naomi Stamoolis on vocals, Joel Stamoolis on cello, and Anne-Renee Gumley on piano.
