• Notes: There is a significant transformation between sts. 2 and 3. It would serve the psalm well to have some silence or an instrumental interlude between these stanzas. A solo voice or ensemble could sing the first two stanzas. A setting of this psalm composed by Eelco Vos for leadership by a contemporary worship band is available from The Psalm Project (see www.thepsalmproject.com).
