Heritage (Psalm 127)
04:23
|
|
||
|
Except the Lord do build the house,
The builders lose their pain:
Except the Lord the city keep,
The watchmen watch in vain.
'Tis vain for you to rise betimes,
Or late from rest to keep,
To feed on sorrows' bread; so gives
He his beloved sleep.
Lo, children are God's heritage,
The womb's fruit his reward.
The sons of youth as arrows are,
For strong men's hands prepared.
O happy is the one that hath
A quiver filled with those;
They unashamèd in the gate
Shall speak unto their foes.

Shalom (Psalm 128)
03:33
|
|
||
|
Blessed is each one that fears the Lord,
And walketh in his ways;
For of thy labour thou shalt eat,
And happy be always.
Thy wife shall as a vine fruitful
By thy house be found:
Thy children like to olive-plants
About thy table round.
Behold, the man that fears the Lord,
Thus blessed shall he be.
The Lord shall out of Zion give
His blessing unto thee:
Thou shalt Jerusalem's good behold
Whilst thou on earth dost dwell.
Thou shalt thy children's children see,
And peace on Israel.

Oft did they vex me from my youth,
May Israel now declare;
Oft did they vex me from my youth,
Yet not victorious were.
The plowers plowed upon my back;
They long their furrows drew.
The righteous Lord did cut the cords
Of the ungodly crew.
Let Zion's haters all be turned
Back with confusion.
As grass on houses' tops be they,
Which fades ere it be grown:
Whereof enough to fill his hand
The mower cannot find;
Nor can the man his bosom fill,
Whose work is sheaves to bind.
Neither say they who do go by,
God's blessing on you rest:
We in the name of God the Lord
Do wish you to be blest.

Lord, from the depths to thee I cried.
My voice, Lord, do thou hear:
Unto my supplication's voice
Give an attentive ear.
O, who shall stand, if thou, O Lord,
Should'st mark iniquity?
But yet with thee forgiveness is,
That feared thou mayest be.
I wait for God, my soul doth wait,
My hope is in his word.
More than they that for morning watch,
My soul waits for the Lord;
I say, more than they that do watch
The morning light to see.
Let Israel hope in the Lord,
For with him mercies be;
And plenteous redemption
Is ever found with him.
And from all their iniquities
He Israel shall redeem.
|

|
My heart not haughty is, O Lord,
Mine eyes not lofty be;
Nor do I deal in matters great,
Or things too high for me.
I surely have myself behaved
With quiet spirit and mild,
As child of mother weaned: my soul
Is like a weanèd child.
Upon the Lord let all the hope
Of Israel rely,
Even from the time that present is
Unto eternity.

My Rest (Psalm 132)
05:49
|
|
||
|
David, and his afflictions all,
Lord, do thou think upon;
How unto God he sware, and vowed
To Jacob's mighty One.
I will not come within my house,
Nor rest in bed at all;
Nor shall mine eyes take any sleep,
Nor eyelids slumber shall;
Till for the Lord a place I find,
Where he may make abode;
A place of habitation
For Jacob's mighty God.
Lo, at the place of Ephratah
Of it we understood;
And we did find it in the fields,
And city of the wood.
We'll go into his tabernacles,
And at his footstool bow.
Arise, O Lord, into thy rest,
The ark of thy strength, and thou.
O let thy priests be clothèd, Lord,
With truth and with righteousness;
And let all those that are thy saints
Shout aloud for joyfulness.
For thine own servant David's sake,
Do not deny thy grace;
Nor of thine own anointed one
Turn thou away the face.
The Lord in truth to David sware,
He will not turn from it,
I of thy body's fruit will make
Upon thy throne to sit.
My covenant if thy sons keep,
And laws to them made known,
Their children then shall also sit
For ever on thy throne.
For God of Zion hath made a choice;
There he desires to dwell.
This is my rest, here I will stay;
For I do like it well.
Her food I'll greatly bless; her poor
With bread will satisfy.
Her priests I'll clothe with health; her saints
Shall shout forth joyfully.
And there will I make David's horn
To bud forth pleasantly:
For him that mine anointed is
A lamp ordained have I.
As with a garment I will clothe
With shame his enemies all:
But yet the crown that he doth wear
Upon him it flourish shall.
|

8. |

|
Behold, how good a thing it is,
And how becoming well,
Together such as brethren are
In unity to dwell!
Like precious ointment on the head,
That down the beard did flow,
Ev'n Aaron's beard, and to the skirts,
Did of his garments go.
As Hermon's dew, the dew that doth
On Zion' hills descend:
For there the blessing God commands,
Life that shall never end.
|
||||
9. |
|

|
Dark was the night, and cold the ground
On which the Lord was laid;
His sweat, like drops of blood ran down;
In agony He prayed:
Father, remove this bitter cup,
If such Thy sacred will;
If not, content to drink it up,
Thy pleasure I fulfill.
Go to the garden, sinner; see
Those precious drops that flow,
The heavy load He bore for thee
For thee He lies so low.
Then learn of Him the cross to bear;
Thy Father’s will obey;
And when temptations press thee near,
Awake to watch and pray.

Tarblossom Turin, Italy
Tarblossom is the musical project of Jonathan Kleis, an electro-roots rock that mixes the fire of an Old Testament prophet with the fury of a Flannery O'Connor story. The inspiration behind Tarblossom can be found in the earthy grit of old-time Americana, the swampy spank of Delta bottleneck, and the pulsing ambience of modern electronica as a contemporary setting for ancient texts. ... more
