I have put small verses into song for my children years ago, but never Psalm 119 would I have tried. This was wonderful! I so enjoyed the singing, especially as you sang the King James Version, which is harder to do. Bravo!
Praise the Lord! I’m glad you liked it! Interestingly, I’m finding that the KJV has a lyrical flow and cadence that lends itself to many familiar tunes. Your comment made my day!
In my church they held a competition that whoever memorizes Psalm 119 Will get a new study Bible which is more than $2000😮 so the song was very helpful thank you 😊❤
I memorized the chapter but I made a few tweaks. The word quicken, which no one knows what the heck that means, is better translated as life in my opinion. So if there is a verse that says "quicken me according to your loving kindness" I would change it to life is your loving kindness. I think by doing this it unlocks verses like John 10:10 where Jesus refers to the type of life He seeks to bring to the world.
Hey Mathew, that is awesome you memorized it! I rather like it as written, which is why I wouldn’t change “quicken.” I get it sounds old, but that’s part of the gold. So much depth in those old words is hidden. :)
Mathew, you are the first person outside of my family to tell me you’ve memorized Psalm 119 after watching this. Thank you so much for telling me. I can’t tell you what it means to me!!!
@@Rolando_Cueva I hear you. But using “quicken” as an example, the meaning is far more nuanced than just using the word “life.” I’ll let y’all look up why, since exegesis is beyond the scope or goal of this video. We could also say doctors shouldn’t use Latin words because it’s from Ancient Rome, but using Latin affords the experts far more precision than is available in our modern, dumbed-down vernacular English. So too using English from the time it was still precise (albeit with unfamiliar vocabulary) only enhances our understanding. That is one of many reasons I love it and lean on it. Maybe that’s why kids who read the King James Version score higher on standardized tests. Makes sense. Thanks for commenting, Rolando. I’m honored!
Beautifully done. Love the different familiar tunes. 😇😇😇
Praise God. Thank you for listening! They are GREAT words :)
👏 👏👏 thank you for your help! I love your voice don’t be embarrassed! Wonderful!
What a kind thing to say! God bless you for encouraging me!!!!! (And with words like Psalm119, any voice would sound good lol:)
Amen

KJV hard to sing? You really think so?

Oh what a great contest! I’m so thankful this helps you! And this Psalm is so rich, it’s a huge reward in itself even before the prize ❤️❤️❤️

@@isaiah53design but books are written to be understood no? The target audience were Christians in the 1600's.
