O Lord, My Strength: Psalm 18

Rev. Eric Sarwar, Presbyterian pastor from Pakistan now studying in the United States, leads a North American congregation in singing Psalm 18. He lined it out by singing phrases in Punjabi and having the congregation repeat phrase by phrase in a new English translation.

Punjab, an area encompassing both eastern Pakistan and northern India, is where Presbyterian missionaries encouraged psalm singing when they arrived in the 19^th century. The Punjabi Zaboor (Punjabi Psalter) of 1908 was the most famous song collection of the 20^th century in all of Indo-Pakistan.
