Apologize for the thread drift here.

All that is very interesting but what is even more so is Psalm 19: May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight. Is there a lot about
this in the New Testament or does Jesus make it plain enough with Mathew 5:28 to suffice once and for all?

What is the connection between Ps 19 and Mt 5:28? Did you mean Mt 5:18?

I meant Matthew 5:28. The Jewish emphasis for clean hands seems beyond what is set out for keeping hearts and minds as should be for God’s presence in our lives.

Grief!
That is no way to discourage thread drift, Robert. I want to be a good blogger and stop doing it.
BUT I can’t wait to check out all those songs. 🙂

What a treat it was to listen to each rendition of the song. Thank you, Robert.

Robert, recently we lost someone because of my thread drift! It makes me want to be really careful to just say something on the subject and only if it has some significance.
Remember, this is the only blog I know about so it’s a learning process for me.
I appreciate your kindness.

. . . Sweet Thames run softly til I end my song, Sweet Thames, run softly, for I speak not loud or long. But at my back . . .

Sorry for the extended thread-drift. The title immediately took me to the Wasteland.

IMO the most moving musical setting for Psalm 137 was from the original Broadway production of ** you do not have permission to see this link **
.

Ah Psalm 137, at verse 6, so far so good. Best not to proceed. Yahweh hadn’t invented mercy and forgiveness yet. That came later.
