Psalm 9
I have always loved the psalms of David and have put music to many of them. This one is better musically than most of my psalm-songs though. I was meditating on it during a time in which I felt under siege and beaten down by life. I always "hear" it played by a harp and/or a violin in my mind. If anyone out there plays the harp or violin and covers this song - I'd sure love to hear it!
