For this dramatic psalm, I have composed dramatic music. In this piece, the pianist is less of an accompanist and more of a featured soloist. The furious piano part leads the choir through a whirlwind of intensity as the psalm begins with a cry of despair for the human race and then moves to a prayer for God’s protection and a message of assurance.

A portion of the revenue goes to the company that holds the copyright of the NIV Bible.

I am not releasing this for sale until it has had its premiere. If you are interested in premiering it, contact me.

Coming soon in a version for choir and orchestra!
