This setting of Psalm 131 was written, recorded, and submitted by Josh Davis and focuses on the practice of quieting the soul.
Psalm 131
How does this psalm piece interpret the psalm?
In our extremely busy world, we are easily concerned with too many matters on a daily basis. It is vital that we learn to quiet our souls as the psalmist talks about and that we let go of things that are too lofty for us.
Often our songs during corporate worship are directed to God or to one another; in the psalms, many times the songs are directed to the psalmist’s own soul. This simple, singable song gives us a chance to sing a lullaby over our own souls and is a wonderful lead-in to a time of silence.
