The God Squad: More Psalms of comfort

By Rabbi Marc Gellman, Tribune Content Agency on

when I was fashioned in the depths of the earth.

There is something very liberating about a God who knows everything about you, body and soul, from before you were born, your every thought and action. I read unfathomable and unconditional love between those lines, and to me, that gives me hope and strength through whatever I face in my life.

God bless you, and keep up the good work,

Your column [which I've read for many years, even back when it was still a dual effort!] often provides uplift when I badly need it. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Ninety-first Psalm is particularly meaningful to me.

 

There's a splendid solo/anthem ["Ninety-First Psalm"] by composer James G. MacDermid that has been wonderfully inspirational since I first heard it in University days, 75 years ago.

It abridges the words somewhat, But IMO, it skillfully captures the message of this song of the Prophets.

A video of this 'Sacred Song' (the composer's term!) can be found on YouTube:

Pax Vobiscum!
