This Calvinistic music has a transcendent, supernatural sound to it. The simple, mathematically perfect Renaissance harmony inspires me like no other music.
I agree, I was brought up with the Genevan psalter melodies in church and I still prefer them over contemporary ones, which are often very dull melodically.
best comment. Who says Calvinists don't have good music to their own tradition??
@@redeemedzoomer6053 Not me ! I discovered them rather recently and I love them.
Psalm 7
W. van der Kamp, 1972
Thou art my refuge; LORD, defend me.
Come, lest my foes like lions rend me,
And drag me off, a helpless prey.
If I did good with ill repay,
If sin, O God, my hands has blighted,
And I in plunder have delighted,
Let me then by my foe be found,
And let him tread me to the ground.
Rise in Thy anger, LORD, and hasten
The fury of my foes to chasten.
My God, awake! Appoint Thy day,
Put all the peoples in array;
Ascend Thy throne and judge the nations,
Do right unto their generations;
Judge me, O LORD, for I profess
Integrity and righteousness.
Ward off those who Thy people ravish;
The just and righteous, LORD, establish,
O Thou who triest heart and mind,
Our God in righteousness enshrined.
My shield Thou art; Thy help Thou gavest
And men of upright heart Thou savest.
O righteous Judge, Thy anger’s sway
Subdues the wicked every day.
If any man shows no repentance,
Our God will whet His sword with vengeance.
For those who to withstand have dared
His bow is braced, His shafts prepared.
For barbed with fire are all His arrows
When He in ire the wicked harrows.
And never will my foe achieve
The evil which he did conceive.
With evil pregnant he will hound me;
He brings forth falsehood to confound me.
For others he prepares a pit,
But he himself falls into it.
His mischief, on his head returning,
Repays him who with hate was burning.
God’s righteousness I’ll glorify.
I praise the Name of God Most High!
Psalm 7
Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the Lord,
concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.
Here, accused of traitorous conspiracy against his sovereign by king Saul, or by Cush one of his courtiers, David, (1.) Appeals to God, concerning his innocency of that crime, ver. 3-5. (2.) He supplicates, that God, as governor of the world, and King of Israel, would protect him from danger, plead his cause and give judgment for him, ver. 1, 2, 6, 9. (3.) In the exercise of faith, he depends on God, to protect and deliver him, and to avenge the injuries he had sustained upon his implacable adversaries, ver. 10, 16. (4.) He resolves to ascribe the glory of all his deliverances to God alone, ver. 17.
While I sing, let me contemplate the spotless innocency, the finished righteousness of my Redeemer, together with the injurious usage he received from his brethren of mankind and the fearful ruin which hath befallen, or awaits his incorrigible foes. Let me carefully approve myself in his sight who searcheth my heart, and trieth my reins, and who must quickly be my final judge. Let me implore the just vengeance of heaven, against my spiritual enemies. And not unto me, but to his name be the glory and praise of all my protection and deliverance.
1 O Lord my God, in thee do I my confidence repose: Save and deliver me from all my persecuting foes; 2 Lest that the enemy my soul should, like a lion, tear, In pieces rending it, while there is no deliverer. 3 O Lord my God, if it be so that I committed this; If it be so that in my hands iniquity there is: 4 If I rewarded ill to him that was at peace with me; (Yea, ev'n the man that without cause my foe was I did free;) 5 Then let the foe pursue and take my soul, and my life thrust Down to the earth, and let him lay mine honour in the dust. 6 Rise in thy wrath, Lord, raise thyself, for my foes raging be; And, to the judgment which thou hast commanded, wake for me. 7 So shall th' assembly of thy folk about encompass thee: Thou, therefore, for their sakes, return unto thy place on high. 8 The Lord he shall the people judge: my judge, Jehovah, be, After my righteousness, and mine integrity in me. 9 O let the wicked's malice end; but stablish stedfastly The righteous: for the righteous God the hearts and reins doth try. 10 In God, who saves th' upright in heart, is my defence and stay. 11 God just men judgeth, God is wroth with ill men ev'ry day. 12 If he do not return again, then he his sword will whet; His bow he hath already bent, and hath it ready set: 13 He also hath for him prepar'd the instruments of death; Against the persecutors he his shafts ordained hath. 14 Behold, he with iniquity doth travail, as in birth; A mischief he conceived hath, and falsehood shall bring forth. 15 He made a pit and digg'd it deep, another there to take; But he is fall'n into the ditch which he himself did make. 16 Upon his own head his mischief shall be returned home; His vi'lent dealing also down on his own pate shall come. 17 According to his righteousness the Lord I'll magnify; And will sing praise unto the name of God that is most high.
