This made me quite emotional, especially verses 4 through 9 ... unfortunately the church DID begin to hide and water down the truth of God, so that in the last couple of generations people have stopped educating their children toward faith in God, and our society is reaping the consequences of it, like ancient Israel did. So sad. Thank the Lord for His mercy toward the children of men.
How wonderful it is to hear these fantastic Chants . It makes me want to join in with the tenor line as I have sung in choirs since age5 and am now 84. My late Son Christopher used to spend much time composing new Chants especially when a teenager in the Beaulieu Abbey Choir. Rest in Peace my love.
The Psalms of David Day 15. Evening Prayer PSALM 78. Attendite, popule HEAR my law, O my people : incline your ears unto the words of my mouth. 2 I will open my mouth in a parable : I will declare hard sentences of old; 3 Which we have heard and known : and such as our fathers have told us; 4 That we should not hide them from the children of the generations to come : but to shew the honour of the Lord, his mighty and wonderful works that he hath done. 5 He made a covenant with Jacob, and gave Israel a law : which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children; 6 That their posterity might know it : and the children which were yet unborn; 7 To the intent that when they came up : they might shew their children the same; 8 That they might put their trust in God : and not to forget the works of God, but to keep his commandments; 9 And not to be as their forefathers, a faithless and stubborn generation : a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit cleaveth not stedfastly unto God; 10 Like as the children of Ephraim : who being harnessed, and carrying bows, turned themselves back in the day of battle. 11 They kept not the covenant of God : and would not walk in his law; 12 But forgat what he had done : and the wonderful works that he had shewed for them. 13 Marvellous things did he in the sight of our forefathers, in the land of Egypt : even in the field of Zoan. 14 He divided the sea, and let them go through : he made the waters to stand on an heap. 15 In the day-time also he led them with a cloud : and all the night through with a light of fire. 16 He clave the hard rocks in the wilderness : and gave them drink thereof, as it had been out of the great depth. 17 He brought waters out of the stony rock : so that it gushed out like the rivers. 18 Yet for all this they sinned more against him : and provoked the most Highest in the wilderness. 19 They tempted God in their hearts : and required meat for their lust. 20 They spake against God also, saying : Shall God prepare a table in the wilderness? 21 He smote the stony rock indeed, that the waters gushed out, and the streams flowed withal : but can he give bread also, or provide flesh for his people? 22 When the Lord heard this, he was wroth : so the fire was kindled in Jacob, and there came up heavy displeasure against Israel; 23 Because they believed not in God : and put not their trust in his help. 24 So he commanded the clouds above : and opened the doors of heaven. 25 He rained down manna also upon them for to eat : and gave them food from heaven. 26 So man did eat angels' food : for he sent them meat enough. 27 He caused the east-wind to blow under heaven : and through his power he brought in the south-west-wind. 28 He rained flesh upon them as thick as dust : and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea. 29 He let it fall among their tents : even round about their habitation. 30 So they did eat and were well filled, for he gave them their own desire : they were not disappointed of their lust. 31 But while the meat was yet in their mouths, the heavy wrath of God came upon them, and slew the wealthiest of them : yea, and smote down the chosen men that were in Israel. 32 But for all this they sinned yet more : and believed not his wondrous works. 33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity: and their years in trouble. 34 When he slew them, they sought him : and turned them early, and inquired after God. 35 And they remembered that God was their strength : and that the high God was their redeemer. 36 Nevertheless, they did but flatter him with their mouth : and dissembled with him in their tongue. 37 For their heart was not whole with him : neither continued they stedfast in his covenant. 38 But he was so merciful, that he forgave their misdeeds : and destroyed them not. 39 Yea, many a time turned he his wrath away : and would not suffer his whole displeasure to arise. 40 For he considered that they were but flesh : and that they were even a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. 41 Many a time did they provoke him in the wilderness : and grieved him in the desert. 42 They turned back, and tempted God : and moved the Holy One in Israel. 43 They thought not of his hand : and of the day when he delivered them from the hand of the enemy; 44 How he had wrought his miracles in Egypt : and his wonders in the field of Zoan. 45 He turned their waters into blood : so that they might not drink of the rivers. 46 He sent lice among them, and devoured them up : and frogs to destroy them. 47 He gave their fruit unto the caterpillar : and their labour unto the grasshopper. 48 He destroyed their vines with hail-stones : and their mulberry trees with the frost. 49 He smote their cattle also with hail-stones : and their flocks with hot thunderbolts. 50 He cast upon them the furiousness of his wrath, anger, displeasure, and trouble : and sent evil angels among them. 51 He made a way to his indignation, and spared not their soul from death : but gave their life over to the pestilence; 52 And smote all the first-born in Egypt : the most principal and mightiest in the dwellings of Ham. 53 But as for his own people, he led them forth like sheep : and carried them in the wilderness like a flock. 54 He brought them out safely, that they should not fear : and overwhelmed their enemies with the sea. 55 And brought them within the borders of his sanctuary : even to his mountain which he purchased with his right hand. 56 He cast out the heathen also before them : caused their land to be divided among them for an heritage, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. 57 So they tempted and displeased the most high God : and kept not his testimonies; 58 But turned their backs, and fell away like their forefathers : starting aside like a broken bow. 59 For they grieved him with their hill-altars : and provoked him to displeasure with their images. 60 When God heard this, he was wroth : and took sore displeasure at Israel. 61 So that he forsook the tabernacle in Silo : even the tent that he had pitched among men. 62 He delivered their power into captivity : and their beauty into the enemy's hand. 63 He gave his people over also unto the sword : and was wroth with his inheritance. 64 The fire consumed their young men : and their maidens were not given to marriage. 65 Their priests were slain with the sword : and there were no widows to make lamentation. 66 So the Lord awaked as one out of sleep : and like a giant refreshed with wine. 67 He smote his enemies in the hinder parts : and put them to a perpetual shame. 68 He refused the tabernacle of Joseph : and chose not the tribe of Ephraim; 69 But chose the tribe of Judah : even the hill of Sion which he loved. 70 And there he built his temple on high : and laid the foundation of it like the ground which he hath made continually. 71 He chose David also his servant : and took him away from the sheep-folds. 72 As he was following the ewes great with young ones he took him : that he might feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. 73 So he fed them with a faithful and true heart : and ruled them prudently with all his power.
No wonder only in Jesus Christ one can find peace, hearing the Chant you are uplifted amazing. O Lord your children praise you. Thanks

The Psalms of David
Day 15. Evening Prayer
PSALM 78.
Attendite, popule
HEAR my law, O my people : incline your ears unto the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth in a parable : I will declare hard sentences of old;
3 Which we have heard and known : and such as our fathers have told us;
4 That we should not hide them from the children of the generations to come : but to shew the honour of the Lord, his mighty and wonderful works that he hath done.
5 He made a covenant with Jacob, and gave Israel a law : which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children;
6 That their posterity might know it : and the children which were yet unborn;
7 To the intent that when they came up : they might shew their children the same;
8 That they might put their trust in God : and not to forget the works of God, but to keep his commandments;
9 And not to be as their forefathers, a faithless and stubborn generation : a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit cleaveth not stedfastly unto God;
10 Like as the children of Ephraim : who being harnessed, and carrying bows, turned themselves back in the day of battle.
11 They kept not the covenant of God : and would not walk in his law;
12 But forgat what he had done : and the wonderful works that he had shewed for them.
13 Marvellous things did he in the sight of our forefathers, in the land of Egypt : even in the field of Zoan.
14 He divided the sea, and let them go through : he made the waters to stand on an heap.
15 In the day-time also he led them with a cloud : and all the night through with a light of fire.
16 He clave the hard rocks in the wilderness : and gave them drink thereof, as it had been out of the great depth.
17 He brought waters out of the stony rock : so that it gushed out like the rivers.
18 Yet for all this they sinned more against him : and provoked the most Highest in the wilderness.
19 They tempted God in their hearts : and required meat for their lust.
20 They spake against God also, saying : Shall God prepare a table in the wilderness?
21 He smote the stony rock indeed, that the waters gushed out, and the streams flowed withal : but can he give bread also, or provide flesh for his people?
22 When the Lord heard this, he was wroth : so the fire was kindled in Jacob, and there came up heavy displeasure against Israel;
23 Because they believed not in God : and put not their trust in his help.
24 So he commanded the clouds above : and opened the doors of heaven.
25 He rained down manna also upon them for to eat : and gave them food from heaven.
26 So man did eat angels' food : for he sent them meat enough.
27 He caused the east-wind to blow under heaven : and through his power he brought in the south-west-wind.
28 He rained flesh upon them as thick as dust : and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea.
29 He let it fall among their tents : even round about their habitation.
30 So they did eat and were well filled, for he gave them their own desire : they were not disappointed of their lust.
31 But while the meat was yet in their mouths, the heavy wrath of God came upon them, and slew the wealthiest of them : yea, and smote down the chosen men that were in Israel.
32 But for all this they sinned yet more : and believed not his wondrous works.
33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity: and their years in trouble.
34 When he slew them, they sought him : and turned them early, and inquired after God.
35 And they remembered that God was their strength : and that the high God was their redeemer.
36 Nevertheless, they did but flatter him with their mouth : and dissembled with him in their tongue.
37 For their heart was not whole with him : neither continued they stedfast in his covenant.
38 But he was so merciful, that he forgave their misdeeds : and destroyed them not.
39 Yea, many a time turned he his wrath away : and would not suffer his whole displeasure to arise.
40 For he considered that they were but flesh : and that they were even a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
41 Many a time did they provoke him in the wilderness : and grieved him in the desert.
42 They turned back, and tempted God : and moved the Holy One in Israel.
43 They thought not of his hand : and of the day when he delivered them from the hand of the enemy;
44 How he had wrought his miracles in Egypt : and his wonders in the field of Zoan.
45 He turned their waters into blood : so that they might not drink of the rivers.
46 He sent lice among them, and devoured them up : and frogs to destroy them.
47 He gave their fruit unto the caterpillar : and their labour unto the grasshopper.
48 He destroyed their vines with hail-stones : and their mulberry trees with the frost.
49 He smote their cattle also with hail-stones : and their flocks with hot thunderbolts.
50 He cast upon them the furiousness of his wrath, anger, displeasure, and trouble : and sent evil angels among them.
51 He made a way to his indignation, and spared not their soul from death : but gave their life over to the pestilence;
52 And smote all the first-born in Egypt : the most principal and mightiest in the dwellings of Ham.
53 But as for his own people, he led them forth like sheep : and carried them in the wilderness like a flock.
54 He brought them out safely, that they should not fear : and overwhelmed their enemies with the sea.
55 And brought them within the borders of his sanctuary : even to his mountain which he purchased with his right hand.
56 He cast out the heathen also before them : caused their land to be divided among them for an heritage, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
57 So they tempted and displeased the most high God : and kept not his testimonies;
58 But turned their backs, and fell away like their forefathers : starting aside like a broken bow.
59 For they grieved him with their hill-altars : and provoked him to displeasure with their images.
60 When God heard this, he was wroth : and took sore displeasure at Israel.
61 So that he forsook the tabernacle in Silo : even the tent that he had pitched among men.
62 He delivered their power into captivity : and their beauty into the enemy's hand.
63 He gave his people over also unto the sword : and was wroth with his inheritance.
64 The fire consumed their young men : and their maidens were not given to marriage.
65 Their priests were slain with the sword : and there were no widows to make lamentation.
66 So the Lord awaked as one out of sleep : and like a giant refreshed with wine.
67 He smote his enemies in the hinder parts : and put them to a perpetual shame.
68 He refused the tabernacle of Joseph : and chose not the tribe of Ephraim;
69 But chose the tribe of Judah : even the hill of Sion which he loved.
70 And there he built his temple on high : and laid the foundation of it like the ground which he hath made continually.
71 He chose David also his servant : and took him away from the sheep-folds.
72 As he was following the ewes great with young ones he took him : that he might feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
73 So he fed them with a faithful and true heart : and ruled them prudently with all his power.
Good
Superbly sung as one would expect, but far from the best set of chants around for this great psalm, IMO.
Where can I get the scores (free or purchased) for these Psalms, please? Any help will be appreciated
