Here's the lyrics: How lovely is Your dwelling place, oh Lord My soul it yearns, even faints for the courts of God my heart and flesh, they cry out to the living God my heart and flesh, cry out to Him Even the sparrow may find a home in You, Lord The swallow may have her young near Your altar Oh, God my King Blessed are those who dwell with You Within Your house, they give You praise Blessed are those, whose strength is in You Who are pilgrims with hearts on a journey to You As they pass through the desolate valley of weeping They will make it all a place of springs The autumn rains will also cover it Oh, Lord, my God Almighty God of Jacob Listen to me and hear my prayer, oh Lord and Look upon our shield And look with favor upon Your anointed one Listen to me Blessed are those, whose strength is in You Who are pilgrims with hearts on a journey to You They go from strength, to strength, to appearing Before the Lord in Zion at the end Better is one day on Your courts, oh Lord Then a thousand elsewhere I would rather keep the door in Gods house Then dwell in tents of evil men For the Lord is a sun and a shield around me And He showers His favor, His honor upon me From the blameless He never withholds any good thing He will not withhold any good thing And blessed are the ones who trust in Him
Tåo linda esta versão musical do Salmo 84! Oh Senhor meu Pai! Perdoa-me quando minha fé é pouca. O Senhor é tão fiel e eu não sou. Gracioso e mesericordioso Pai Celestial, guarda-me debaixo de suas asas, mantenha-me em Suas mãos, Oh Senhor !
If y'all would, please pray for me. My heart is barren of love and the river of joy is dry in my soul. I pray and am seeking but I feel more head knowledge of God than heart knowledge. I want to know Him as Father.
The beauty of how these individuals are inspired by God to heighten the lyrics, or the Psalms, and place the Word of God in music form is truly inspiring...
So beautiful. I love to listen to this song when I have had a rough day, the way they sing this song has a calming, tranquil, peaceful melody. Keep making beautiful music. God bless you greatly.

The lovingkindness our God, and Savior shows mankind on a daily basis cannot be appreciated enough... To think HE shed HIS former glory, came in human flesh in order to die an excruciating, and painful death in order for a sinful mankind to be cleansed from this horrible state of being through HIS blood poured out for the remission of lawlessness, shows just how much love our Creator has for us... What else could God our Creator possible do to show HIS commitment in longing for those created in HIS image to be saved, and to live eternally through the Son... HIS love will never fail us as long as we allow ourselves to submit in faith to HIS sovereign will.. Blessed be HIS NAME..
"His sovereign will..." The ones that are called to be His will never be taken from His custody, for they were given to Him by the Father. Jesus Christ is the author and finisher of our faith, meaning the LORD put in the hearts of His elects to seek their Savior, to listen to His voice. No one comes to the Father of his own will, but by the will of God. We must understand how desperately wicked men are. Not one is good, only God is. Why so many saw great miracles and heard the voice of the LORD for millenniums and just a few believed? So it is now as we are closer than ever to the great finally. The signs are there as clear as the sky without a single cloud, but so few recognize them. Only the elects of this final season see them because the LORD has opened their eyes. The LORD has chosen them before the foundation of the earth for His glory and for His Suffering Servant' sake, Christ their King. The
Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen, Jehova der Heerscharen! Es sehnt sich , ja , es schmachtet meine Seele nach den Vorhöfen Jehovas; mein Herz und mein Fleisch rufen laut nach dem lebendigen Gott😍
You have a nice sound. I enjoyed the song and listed to it before I wrote my devotional on Psalm 84 this week Tour of the winepress psalms, part 2 - Psalm 8, 81, 84 - Psalm 84, a sweet song for the journey We pressed through the rest of Psalm 83, the tour guide warned the group to prepare for some spectacular turbulence. The tour was anxious to go to the next winepress Psalm but that got their attention. We heard an announcement of a litany of two countries and five foreign rulers who insisted they would seize ‘the pastures of God' for their own possession. We walked knee deep through mounds of chaff. “Watch yourselves. Going will get a bit tough until we get out of Psalm 83!”, the tour guide said. Next thing we knew we were in a violent dust storm, blowing the chaff everywhere and as soon as whirlwind done a forest fire on one side, burning mountain on the other. The five rulers fell over and like tumbleweeds falling and knocked over, some rolling like tumbleweeds. We were not a little eager to reach the next Psalm soon. Tempest storm and the faces of the five rulers turn to fear. The English major in the group, a fairly empathetic young women looked mystified. Is this mercy? Is this good? She wondered at what possible good there was in this type of imprecation. An epitaph for the rulers soberly read: May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace. Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD- that you alone are the Most High over all the earth. Ms Sho, our communication major questioned why a good God would allow such violence. Francis, the philosophy major spoke up. The purpose is that they might ultimately know that God is Lord and Most High, over all the earth, that the very God who was over the ‘pastures of God’ they were so eager to seize was offended. Perhaps the question of whether it is good depends on what good is the highest good and what good is accomplished?" Leona, the Literature major appeared more satisfied with that answer than Sho. We began to hear faint sounds of the next Psalm in the distance. There appears to be three parts, only making out a few phrases..."How lovely"... "Behold our shield"...and ..."No good thing"... The tour pressed on and crossing past Psalm 83, the winds subsided. “Prepare to enter what some consider the sweetest Psalm in the Psalter”, the tour guide said. The group eager to go into the next winepress Psalm stepped over the title. Psalm 84: For the director of music. According to gittith. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. The gittith an instument of the Philistines. Gath a city meaning winepress. Psalm being a praise. The sweetness of the winepress appears evident. A calm , a peaceful, sweet feeling came over the group as we heard A group of pilgrims, men women and children traveling through the first third of the land, the men slowing singing in unison. "How lovely is your dwelling place, LORD Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD;" In the far distance we could make out an echo "no good thing does the Lord withhold from those who dwell uprightly", as if to assure them that their longings would be fulfilled. The English Literature major said the longing expressed in how the Sons of Korah began this Psalm here in book 3 reminder her of how the Sons of Korah began their group of Psalms in Book two, with the 'as the deer pants for water so my soul longs after you.' She mused on why they placed their songs of longing first. Body and soul they sang their song of longing, though tired and faint hoping to reach the place God dwells. And strangely though God dwells there, there was talk of swallows and sparrows, the lowliest of birds also dwelling there. The men sand on to the interest of the children: " Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young-a place near your altar, LORD Almighty, my King and my God." “Little birds and of little use” , the zoologist science of the group, thought to himself this odd, “For that region, barnswallow, no doubt.... Not a dove? Not a songbird? Not a peacock? Why is there a sparrow here? Why a swallow? Dwelling? In God’s courts? How ordinary and insignificant." “The most ordinary of birds to be sure,” said the guide and it lands first on the altar of sacrifice. It doesn't merely rest for a moment at the altar. It makes a nest. A home. One of the travelers explained to his child as they walked, "The lowly birds might fly into the open court even to the bronze alter, the alter of sacrifice and the priests would not shoo it away. God, most high would dwell and the lowliest humblest sparrow or swallow would find a home. “As the birds delight to nest at thine altars, so do I love to dwell in thine house." With the thought of arriving at the sanctuary, and the idea of it being their home, the travelers broke into a song of rejoicing over blessings: "Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you." A blessing on even the lowly dwelling in the home of the highest? With that we and the travelers forded a Selah, pondering what they saw. The travelers, went from unison to harmony, singing a bit faster now, women and children now joining the songs with the men. Exhausted but pressing on through a valley of dryness and tears, unbearable at times, called Baka. Tired but rejoicing. Some carrying children and pressing on, still all singing in harmony. Exhausted, fainting, yet joyful. Through the adversity, singing another song of blessing "Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools." Tears and trials turned to blessings. They sang "They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion." And with that they called on God, " O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob! We crossed another, Selah, wondering why God might be addressed as 'God of Jacob' and the group thought perhaps it was a general title inclusive of all the tribes, since all descended form Jacob. We wondered how this tired group might find have the power to reach their sanctuary and then their prayer appeared to be answered by sanctuary itself. The son's of Korah threw open the gates and as the sojourners walked in the men fell on their knees in the courtyard saying "Behold our shield, O God; look on the face of your anointed!" The anointed would be both the means and end of the journey, provision, protection and destination. "Behold!" , they said to draw our attention to the import of this. They would be protected by the power of the anointed, shielded safely through the journey. The songs broke into the various groups singing different themes, reflecting on things so far. The children singing about the sparrows and swallows making their nests, looking around the sanctuary in wonder, pointing. The women, with a child in one hand in tow and throwing a kiss to the sky with the other singing 'no good thing will you withhold from those who dwell uprightly' The men singing '"Behold our shield, O God; look on the face of your anointed!" God helped the travelers looking on them, seeing them as it were represented in the face of the anointed, their shield. The Sons of Korah stood by the doors of the courtyards to the sojourners, assuring them their lowly jobs of gatekeepers were well worth it. "Better is one day on the job there than a thousand elsewhere." Their forefather, Korah may have challenged Moses and God's holiness but not them. Rather, they would protect God's holiness as gatekeepers and lift emotions of worshipers with their songs. Korah was swallowed up by the earth, but there was a plan of spectacular mercy for some of his sons. The children excitedly pointed at the sky as a bird flew down to the bronze altar, finding a hungry family of baby birds tucked in the rocks of the altar hungrily waiting the mother. The priests who was offering sacrifice smiled at the bird and continued The media major of the tour, Ms Sho, was perplexed, "The is the 'lovely' bronze altar? It's an alter of sacrifice. Animals die here? It's primitive and obscene. It looks like a pile of rocks. The name for swallow we use is related to our word for liberty and as the little bird freely and fearlessly flies to the altar, so might we." One little girl jumped up excitedly and said "my name is Derora - Derora means the same as the little swallow bird but it also means freedom or liberty!", clapping her hands. One of the Sons of Korah stepped forward and gently explained what the bronze altar was not lovely of sight, nor attractive to look at, but it was that man found peace with God through the sacrifice offered which represents the sacrifice of the anointed. A second bird flew down on a more gleaming altar. The Son of Korah continued, "Sin is indeed primitive and obscene. The golden altar would be more attractive. Perhaps, the other altar, the altar of the resurrection of the anointed, the golden altar would be more attractive but that is not seen first. Without death there would be no resurrection. All are invited to the altar of sacrifice of the anointed though no form or majesty that we should look at and no beauty that we should desire it." We were like the swallow and sparrow, through the bronze altar of sacrifice and the golden altar of resurrection we, though lowly could dwell in the home of the highest. The Messiah would be our sanctuary, even being both the means and end the journey to sanctuary, our son and shield, our grace and glory. No good thing would he withhold, not even Himself. The pilgrims had now sat down to enjoy a feast, the women having prepared it in the women's court, still laughing and enjoying the sanctuary, but it was time for us to leave. The men lifted their cups in the air and in unison all, the men, women and children with the Sons of Korah all stood and sang together "Blessed are all who put their trust in Him!", then sat down to feast. One of our more curious members of our tour group saw that the blessedness was described more in the the next Psalm, Psalm 85 and strained to look but we needed to move on, the last winepress Psalm to examine would be Psalm 8 and the tour guide insisted we head for the time being in the other direction. We could see God's favor and restoration. We saw Steadfast love and faithfulness meeting, righteousness and peace kiss each other. Faithfulness coming up from the ground, righteousness looking down from the sky. It would not be the place we would go. It was time for us to head in the other direction, not into Psalm 85, but to travel to Psalm 8, the last winepress Psalm The tour guide pointed the way and in the distance we could see five mountains where we needed to go on a journey of our own. These are five mountain peaks of the new covenant which we see in the distance, the tour guide explained. Psalm 8 lies before them, in their shadow.
What a wonderful tour! Was this your bible study group? Were the sons of korah exiles going back home? Thanks for sharing:) reminds me a bit of the canterbury tales haha
I have a job to do, but its simply done by faith, thus must i became more unto his name for the love of God! Truely it is a wise thing to do and just thing for my names sake. Useless is man from the begining and unworthy is their judgement for judgement belongs to glory, in patience will i bare at least 5 and 5 at a time! :)
I couldn't reply below about what Bible version SOK uses, so here goes: SOK uses the NIV--so I've read in different places. I am not sure if they use the NIVUK (wouldn't matter much!) or if they use (I believe the more sound) 1984 or earlier print. The only language nuance that has struck me is how in the U.S. "COH-braw" is used, and in Australia, "CAW-braw"
CZcams, don't tell me a video has been deleted; just take them off my playlist period. Such bizarre type of app. You can be sure i like many Christian videos but i will never again click like.
All the Sons of Korah songs are directly from the Psalm's and each are numbered accordingly so whatever Bible you use is okay. They sell their CD's through 2 churches in the U.S., one being mine-Elmbrook Church, 777 Barker Rd, Brookfield, WI 53005. 1-262-796-5720. We are on Central time (near Milwaukee) The guys come and play at Elmbrook every other year! They are the best! If you check out their website I think they will be touring in CA in Spring
I agree. Is there a particular translation they use when writing and choreographing their songs of the psalms? Or are they paraphrasing the lyrics from a particular version? I think Barbara missed that point.
While I do fully appreciate their musical skill, they are truly wonderful artists and they put a wonderful light on the words of the Bible, but their doctirne leaves a lot to be desired. Goes to prove that their music style os of the world. ("Come out from among them and be ye seperate, and I will receive you."
There is no music anywhere in the world that is better than this!
hell yea there isnt
Here's the lyrics:
How lovely is Your dwelling place, oh Lord
My soul it yearns, even faints for the courts of
God my heart and flesh, they cry out to the living
God my heart and flesh, cry out to Him
Even the sparrow may find a home in You, Lord
The swallow may have her young near Your altar
Oh, God my King
Blessed are those who dwell with You
Within Your house, they give You praise
Blessed are those, whose strength is in You
Who are pilgrims with hearts on a journey to You
As they pass through the desolate valley of weeping
They will make it all a place of springs
The autumn rains will also cover it
Oh, Lord, my God
Almighty God of Jacob
Listen to me and hear my prayer, oh Lord and
Look upon our shield
And look with favor upon Your anointed one
Listen to me
Blessed are those, whose strength is in You
Who are pilgrims with hearts on a journey to You
They go from strength, to strength, to appearing
Before the Lord in Zion at the end
Better is one day on Your courts, oh Lord
Then a thousand elsewhere
I would rather keep the door in Gods house
Then dwell in tents of evil men
For the Lord is a sun and a shield around me
And He showers His favor, His honor upon me
From the blameless He never withholds any good thing
He will not withhold any good thing
And blessed are the ones who trust in Him
Thank you very much and bless you!
Transcendent Faith on the instruments of voice and love.
Thank you.
Tåo linda esta versão musical do Salmo 84!
Oh Senhor meu Pai! Perdoa-me quando minha fé é pouca. O Senhor é tão fiel e eu não sou.
Gracioso e mesericordioso Pai Celestial, guarda-me debaixo de suas asas, mantenha-me em Suas mãos, Oh Senhor !
Thank you.
Great 😊 song 🎶
If y'all would, please pray for me. My heart is barren of love and the river of joy is dry in my soul. I pray and am seeking but I feel more head knowledge of God than heart knowledge. I want to know Him as Father.
Trust Him. You are a beloved son of God
I pray for you
You never walk alone my friend knock and the door will open...
And? how are you today?
I hope you are ok.
God rewards those that diligently seek Him so go into your secret place & cry out to Him (Matt.6:6). May you KNOW the love of Christ (Ephesians 3:19)!
I love Jesus Christ my savior.
Yeeeaaa Yes He is
NO ONE BUT JESUS!!!

You know, I have decided that King David himself would have absolutely loved how The Sons of Korah have enhanced this beautiful, beautiful Psalm.
I believe so as well.. complex and beautiful melodies and musicianship, with straight up scripture!
Psa 84:1 (84:1) For the Leader; upon the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. (84:2) How lovely are Thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

Thank you for sharing, it is Beautiful! Would it be possible to post the lyrics?
amazing!
You have a nice sound. I enjoyed the song and listed to it before I wrote my devotional on Psalm 84 this week
Tour of the winepress psalms, part 2 - Psalm 8, 81, 84 - Psalm 84, a sweet song for the journey
We pressed through the rest of Psalm 83, the tour guide warned the group to prepare for some spectacular turbulence. The tour was anxious to go to the next winepress Psalm but that got their attention. We heard an announcement of a litany of two countries and five foreign rulers who insisted they would seize ‘the pastures of God' for their own possession. We walked knee deep through mounds of chaff. “Watch yourselves. Going will get a bit tough until we get out of Psalm 83!”, the tour guide said. Next thing we knew we were in a violent dust storm, blowing the chaff everywhere and as soon as whirlwind done a forest fire on one side, burning mountain on the other. The five rulers fell over and like tumbleweeds falling and knocked over, some rolling like tumbleweeds. We were not a little eager to reach the next Psalm soon. Tempest storm and the faces of the five rulers turn to fear. The English major in the group, a fairly empathetic young women looked mystified. Is this mercy? Is this good? She wondered at what possible good there was in this type of imprecation.
An epitaph for the rulers soberly read:
May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace.
Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD- that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
Ms Sho, our communication major questioned why a good God would allow such violence. Francis, the philosophy major spoke up. The purpose is that they might ultimately know that God is Lord and Most High, over all the earth, that the very God who was over the ‘pastures of God’ they were so eager to seize was offended.

We began to hear faint sounds of the next Psalm in the distance. There appears to be three parts, only making out a few phrases..."How lovely"... "Behold our shield"...and ..."No good thing"... The tour pressed on and crossing past Psalm 83, the winds subsided. “Prepare to enter what some consider the sweetest Psalm in the Psalter”, the tour guide said.

The men sand on to the interest of the children: " Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young-a place near your altar, LORD Almighty, my King and my God."
“Little birds and of little use” , the zoologist science of the group, thought to himself this odd, “For that region, barnswallow, no doubt.... Not a dove? Not a songbird? Not a peacock? Why is there a sparrow here? Why a swallow? Dwelling? In God’s courts? How ordinary and insignificant."
“The most ordinary of birds to be sure,” said the guide and it lands first on the altar of sacrifice. It doesn't merely rest for a moment at the altar. It makes a nest. A home.
One of the travelers explained to his child as they walked, "The lowly birds might fly into the open court even to the bronze alter, the alter of sacrifice and the priests would not shoo it away. God, most high would dwell and the lowliest humblest sparrow or swallow would find a home. “As the birds delight to nest at thine altars, so do I love to dwell in thine house." With the thought of arriving at the sanctuary, and the idea of it being their home, the travelers broke into a song of rejoicing over blessings: "Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you." A blessing on even the lowly dwelling in the home of the highest?
With that we and the travelers forded a Selah, pondering what they saw. The travelers, went from unison to harmony, singing a bit faster now, women and children now joining the songs with the men. Exhausted but pressing on through a valley of dryness and tears, unbearable at times, called Baka. Tired but rejoicing. Some carrying children and pressing on, still all singing in harmony. Exhausted, fainting, yet joyful. Through the adversity, singing another song of blessing "Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools." Tears and trials turned to blessings.
They sang "They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion." And with that they called on God, " O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob!
We crossed another, Selah, wondering why God might be addressed as 'God of Jacob' and the group thought perhaps it was a general title inclusive of all the tribes, since all descended form Jacob. We wondered how this tired group might find have the power to reach their sanctuary and then their prayer appeared to be answered by sanctuary itself.
The son's of Korah threw open the gates and as the sojourners walked in the men fell on their knees in the courtyard saying
"Behold our shield, O God; look on the face of your anointed!" The anointed would be both the means and end of the journey, provision, protection and destination. "Behold!" , they said to draw our attention to the import of this. They would be protected by the power of the anointed, shielded safely through the journey.
The songs broke into the various groups singing different themes, reflecting on things so far. The children singing about the sparrows and swallows making their nests, looking around the sanctuary in wonder, pointing. The women, with a child in one hand in tow and throwing a kiss to the sky with the other singing 'no good thing will you withhold from those who dwell uprightly' The men singing '"Behold our shield, O God; look on the face of your anointed!"
God helped the travelers looking on them, seeing them as it were represented in the face of the anointed, their shield.
The Sons of Korah stood by the doors of the courtyards to the sojourners, assuring them their lowly jobs of gatekeepers were well worth it. "Better is one day on the job there than a thousand elsewhere." Their forefather, Korah may have challenged Moses and God's holiness but not them. Rather, they would protect God's holiness as gatekeepers and lift emotions of worshipers with their songs. Korah was swallowed up by the earth, but there was a plan of spectacular mercy for some of his sons.
The children excitedly pointed at the sky as a bird flew down to the bronze altar, finding a hungry family of baby birds tucked in the rocks of the altar hungrily waiting the mother. The priests who was offering sacrifice smiled at the bird and continued
The media major of the tour, Ms Sho, was perplexed, "The is the 'lovely' bronze altar? It's an alter of sacrifice. Animals die here? It's primitive and obscene. It looks like a pile of rocks. The name for swallow we use is related to our word for liberty and as the little bird freely and fearlessly flies to the altar, so might we."
One little girl jumped up excitedly and said "my name is Derora - Derora means the same as the little swallow bird but it also means freedom or liberty!", clapping her hands.
One of the Sons of Korah stepped forward and gently explained what the bronze altar was not lovely of sight, nor attractive to look at, but it was that man found peace with God through the sacrifice offered which represents the sacrifice of the anointed. A second bird flew down on a more gleaming altar. The Son of Korah continued, "Sin is indeed primitive and obscene. The golden altar would be more attractive. Perhaps, the other altar, the altar of the resurrection of the anointed, the golden altar would be more attractive but that is not seen first. Without death there would be no resurrection. All are invited to the altar of sacrifice of the anointed though no form or majesty that we should look at and no beauty that we should desire it."
We were like the swallow and sparrow, through the bronze altar of sacrifice and the golden altar of resurrection we, though lowly could dwell in the home of the highest. The Messiah would be our sanctuary, even being both the means and end the journey to sanctuary, our son and shield, our grace and glory. No good thing would he withhold, not even Himself.
The pilgrims had now sat down to enjoy a feast, the women having prepared it in the women's court, still laughing and enjoying the sanctuary, but it was time for us to leave. The men lifted their cups in the air and in unison all, the men, women and children with the Sons of Korah all stood and sang together "Blessed are all who put their trust in Him!", then sat down to feast.
One of our more curious members of our tour group saw that the blessedness was described more in the the next Psalm, Psalm 85 and strained to look but we needed to move on, the last winepress Psalm to examine would be Psalm 8 and the tour guide insisted we head for the time being in the other direction. We could see God's favor and restoration. We saw Steadfast love and faithfulness meeting, righteousness and peace kiss each other. Faithfulness coming up from the ground, righteousness looking down from the sky. It would not be the place we would go.
It was time for us to head in the other direction, not into Psalm 85, but to travel to Psalm 8, the last winepress Psalm The tour guide pointed the way and in the distance we could see five mountains where we needed to go on a journey of our own. These are five mountain peaks of the new covenant which we see in the distance, the tour guide explained. Psalm 8 lies before them, in their shadow.
What a wonderful tour! Was this your bible study group? Were the sons of korah exiles going back home? Thanks for sharing:) reminds me a bit of the canterbury tales haha
The sons of Korah were the name of the Israel's worship choir.
This is incredible! Where can I find more of your writings?
Beautiful song. His voice reminds me of Jimmie Spheeris.
Amen

I couldn't reply below about what Bible version SOK uses, so here goes: SOK uses the NIV--so I've read in different places. I am not sure if they use the NIVUK (wouldn't matter much!) or if they use (I believe the more sound) 1984 or earlier print. The only language nuance that has struck me is how in the U.S. "COH-braw" is used, and in Australia, "CAW-braw"
Just figured out why I couldn't reply below. CZcams doesn't permit the use of VPN. Too bad for believers living in dangerous places!
Israel/ fights and prevails
God forbid if you like any video because all of a sudden you are having a like playlist of deleted videos. What an annoying segment of CZcams.

Wonderful Music. Copy Jesus (King Jehoshua ), and every thing will be all right !
CZcams, don't tell me a video has been deleted; just take them off my playlist period. Such bizarre type of app. You can be sure i like many Christian videos but i will never again click like.

What Bible version, NLT, NIV, ASV, GNV KJV.......?
All the Sons of Korah songs are directly from the Psalm's and each are numbered accordingly so whatever Bible you use is okay. They sell their CD's through 2 churches in the U.S., one being mine-Elmbrook Church, 777 Barker Rd, Brookfield, WI 53005. 1-262-796-5720. We are on Central time (near Milwaukee) The guys come and play at Elmbrook every other year! They are the best! If you check out their website I think they will be touring in CA in Spring
I agree. Is there a particular translation they use when writing and choreographing their songs of the psalms? Or are they paraphrasing the lyrics from a particular version? I think Barbara missed that point.
It's not exact word for word translation. They do convey the true message of each Psalm though.
English version
While I do fully appreciate their musical skill, they are truly wonderful artists and they put a wonderful light on the words of the Bible, but their doctirne leaves a lot to be desired. Goes to prove that their music style os of the world. ("Come out from among them and be ye seperate, and I will receive you."
What are you talking about? They are using their gifts to bless the world and God's people in worship. Please tell us the great things you are doing?
What doctrine is that? I can't find anything on what they believe.
