Jason Silver's Psalter

One of the joys of keeping a blog such as this is discovering new talent to share with others. Jason Silver maintains a YouTube channel devoted to the Psalms and other Scripture songs. His have many of the characteristics of metrical psalms, including a consistent rhythm and repeated themes. But the words are straight from Scripture with no attempt to compress them into artificial metre and rhyme. Here are a few samples in different musical styles, ranging from movie western to Celtic:

Psalm 1:

Psalm 8:

 

Psalm 51, especially appropriate for Ash Wednesday:


Psalm 82:


Psalm 121:


Psalm 150:
