The 150 Psalms contain some of the most inspiring lines in the Old Testament: Psalm 23 "The Lord is My Shepherd" and Psalm 121 "I am going to lift up mine eyes unto the hills". Yet few know them as a set, which recording, in Alex Jennings' clear performance, allows us to consider them as a whole. They are not all uplifting and comfortable. Many involve darker sentiments of revenge or punishment; many seem to be by David or about David; others are To the chief Musician after Gittith. Their variety is part of these strength and their power, especially in the magisterial language of the King James Bible used here. They can be presented with English choral music from the 16th and 17th centuries.
