In the Day
First sung
In the day of my trouble, I call — Psalm 86 as a cinematic indie-soul anthem: one close-miked voice over lone piano, floor toms and tambourine building, gospel choir and strings on the chorus, one enormous belt, then a whispered last line.
Alternative · Hebrew + English
Based on Psalm 86 (Tehillim); an original musical interpretation.

Lyrics
(whisper) סֶלָה Selah בְּיוֹם צָרָתִי אֶקְרָאֶךָּ In the day of my trouble I call You כִּי תַעֲנֵנִי For You will answer me I've been counting the hours in the dark Holding a match to a burnt-out heart פְּנֵה אֵלַי וְחׇנֵּנִי Turn to me, be gracious to me תְּנָה־עֻזְּךָ לְעַבְדֶּךָ Give Your strength to Your servant And the walls start shaking when You say my name כִּי־חַסְדְּךָ גָּדוֹל עָלָי Your steadfast love is great upon me וְהִצַּלְתָּ נַפְשִׁי מִשְּׁאוֹל תַּחְתִּיָּה You pulled my soul out of the deep סֶלָה Selah Let it rise, let it rise כִּי תַעֲנֵנִי For You will answer me I was a house with the lights all out A bell in a field nobody rang וְהוֹשִׁיעָה לְבֶן־אֲמָתֶךָ Deliver the son of Your maidservant You heard me anyway פְּנֵה אֵלַי וְחׇנֵּנִי Turn to me, be gracious to me תְּנָה־עֻזְּךָ לְעַבְדֶּךָ Give Your strength to Your servant And the walls start shaking when You say my name כִּי־חַסְדְּךָ גָּדוֹל עָלָי Your steadfast love is great upon me וְהִצַּלְתָּ נַפְשִׁי מִשְּׁאוֹל תַּחְתִּיָּה You pulled my soul out of the deep סֶלָה Selah Let it rise, let it rise כִּי תַעֲנֵנִי For You will answer me בְּיוֹם צָרָתִי In the day of my trouble אֶקְרָאֶךָּ I call Say it louder, say it louder (whisper) סֶלָה Selah כִּי־חַסְדְּךָ גָּדוֹל עָלָי Your steadfast love is great upon me וְהִצַּלְתָּ נַפְשִׁי מִשְּׁאוֹל תַּחְתִּיָּה You pulled my soul out of the deep תְּנָה־עֻזְּךָ לְעַבְדֶּךָ Give Your strength to Your servant סֶלָה Selah Let it rise, let it rise כִּי־חַסְדְּךָ גָּדוֹל עָלָי Your love is great upon me סֶלָה (whisper) Selah

A psalm for a name
Someone you love, and one thing about them. We write a psalm for that name and sing it: Hebrew verse from Tehillim, the English written for that person, in a week. It is not a template and it is not a cure — if it is not right we sing it again once.
