Psalms 90-99

Psalm 91 reminds me of the song, "On Eagle's Wings."  Here is the William Jessup University Choir singing this version. It's not quite the version the Senior choir sings at church.

Psalm 91:various verses 

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust..."  You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day...A thousand may fall at your side...For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone...

Psalm 98 is the inspiration for the classic Christmas carol, "Joy To The World."

Psalm 98:4-9 

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music, make music to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, with trumpets and the blast of the ram's horn  -- shout for joy before the Lord, the King.  Let the sea resound and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.  Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy; let them sing before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth.  He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity.

This year's Capital University Christmas Festival's theme was "Joy!"  The second to last song, which was one of my favorites, was "Joy To The World."  Here is a version of it sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Isaac Watts wanted this song to sound like an imitation of Psalm 98.  He didn't want to directly copy it.
