In 1582, in Edinburgh, an imprisoned minister named John Durie was released from prison. He was welcomed on the edge of town by several hundred of his friends, and as they walked along, that number soon swelled to several thousand. Someone began to sing-Psalm 124-and they all, much moved, sang it together in four parts. “Let Israel now say in thankfulness…” One of the chief persecutors was said to have been more alarmed by this spectacle than anything else he had seen in Scotland, which is very likely saying something.
I've been a Christian since 85 and have never heard this wonderful.
This is what worship is supposed to like 😊
Amen!
Beautiful psalm... Love the story
I could listen to this all day!
If only every church had such a powerful, God-honoring song book...oh, wait...
Maranatha!
so you rae saying a particular hymn book is sacred?hope you are not lifting it above God
@@unclekjken6383 Sir, we are talking about the Psalms, which most certainly are inspired and inerrant and fully sufficient and should be the standard by which any man-written hymn, spiritual song, or praise song should be judged in conjunction with the rest of Holy Scripture.
@@unclekjken6383 classic comment.
Absolutely beautiful and deceptively powerful. I want to be in that community. 💯🙌🏼
I want this on iTunes! I want to throw it into my hymn playlist!!!!!

Psalm 124 If people want to try at Church here are the words to copy and paste
Let Israel now say in thankfulness
That if the Lord has not our rights maintained
And if the Lord had not with us remained
When cruel men against us rose to strive
We surely have been swallows up alive
Yeah when their wrath against us surely rose
Then would the tide o'er us have spread it's wave
The raging stream would have become our grave
The surging flood in proudly swelling role
Most surely would have overwhelmed us all
Blest be the Lord who made us not their prey
As from the fowler's net a bird may flee
So from their broken snare did we go free
Our only help is in God's holy Name
He made the earth and all the heavenly frame
What sermon was this?
this hymn is very special to the true israelite.....if they know what their listening too....sadly i dont think the people singing it do.
Romans 9: I am speaking the truth in Christ-I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit- that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh. They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises. To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen.
But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring. For this is what the promise said: “About this time next year I will return, and Sarah shall have a son.” And not only so, but also when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac, though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad-in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls- she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy. For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.
You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory- even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles? As indeed he says in Hosea,
“Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’
and her who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.’”
“And in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’
there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’”
And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will be saved, for the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth fully and without delay.” And as Isaiah predicted,
“If the Lord of hosts had not left us offspring,
we would have been like Sodom
and become like Gomorrah.”
What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith; but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law. Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, as it is written,
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense;
and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
"For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God."
Romans 2:28-29
"Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest? And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness."
Isaiah 29:17-18
Psalms > Hymns.
Wonderful but why the rush? The inner texture of harmony and rhythm is lost and the text is difficult to focus on when one flies through at such a clip.
Sounds like you may need to organize your own singing and post it up! The more the better!
@@jpfiero Play it back at 0.75 speed and see how much more detail and texture you hear.
I tried it out, I didn't notice much difference but I am not much of a musical type so probably not the person to notice such things. I would encourage you to make your own recording though. That is pastor Wilson's intent, he wants Christians everywhere to flood the internet with psalm 124!
@@jpfiero I am not trying to be critical I am genuinely interested in the reasoning. I have sung in church choirs pretty consistently from the late 1970s until about five years ago. A well trained choir can maintain clarity at a pretty fast clip even in the parts with. Staggered movement such as at the end of each verse in this psalm. However, typically a congregation is not precise enough to do that at the faster tempos.
Our current church does the same thing often even worse. Even though I grew up singing hymns I was not privileged to be involved in a psalm singing tradition until this past year when we joined a CREC church.
I can see that the music would be quite beautiful (especially the kind of free meter tunes of antiquity) and the lyrics obviously pregnant with meaning (Selah) but with 60 year old eyes and trifocals it is a challenge to learn new tunes, new harmonizations, and new texts at the same time even at normal tempos. It is quite frustrating to try it double time as our congregation often does.
For hymns that I have sung for years I can often just sing the harmonizations that I have had memorized for decades even if the voice following is different as long as the chord structure is basically unchanged but when it is all new it is quite unsettling to know there is deep meaning but not have the time to express it.
So I guess I am advocating for sensitivity to the struggles of those of us discovering the joys of psalmnody late in life and also like a good liturgy gives time for reflection so consider giving the musical worship space to bloom.
Slow down and smell the counterpoint as it were. ;)
Thank you for hearing me out brothers.
@@mkshffr4936 I was not trying to accuse you of being critical(sorry If it came across that way) unfortunately I don't have an answer for you but I think a well trained choir singing psalms would be an amazing thing I hope someone puts that together!
