The Psalms of
David: Safety and Security
as related in
The Holy Bible, King James Version
Read and with musical interludes by Dick Frantzreb
A Word of Explanation:
The Book of Psalms has been one of
mankind's greatest treasures for thousands of years. In it is
recorded some of the Bible's most precious instruction, and some of its
most beautiful insights into the relationship between God and man.
In particular, the beautiful and inspired wording of the King James
Version of the Psalms has become so integral a part of our culture
and of our individual lives that we instinctively recall its text in
times of need.
The idea of recording readings from the Psalms occurred to me nearly
a year before this project came to fruition. I felt that many people
might benefit from hearing these wonderful thoughts while driving,
while doing chores, while going off to sleep. So I studied the
Psalms carefully, noting the various themes and highlighting the
most inspiring citations. It became quickly apparent that God's
protection of man was a key theme, and that is the main thrust of
the verses in this collection, though the ideas of "praise" and
"redemption" or "salvation" are also well represented.
To make these readings easier to listen to and to give the listener
time to reflect, the citations are divided into 13 groups, each
lasting about 4 to 5 minutes, and each preceded with a brief musical
selection.
