The Hebrew tune for Psalm 9 is listed as "The death of a son." Find out how that psalm and others bring hope to suffering Christians in Pakistan and how the psalms can challenge theologians, poets, and musicians around the world to strengthen faith, ministry, and worship. We will listen to Pakistani recordings and also see some pictures of the persecution there this past year.

Presented at the 2010 Calvin Symposium on Worship.
