Last Sunday afternoon I sat at the big ol’ grand piano to write the next Psalm. It was going to be a toss up between Psalm 18 and 28 and 33, all of which have yet to be completed.

28 was moderate in length, so as I said, I sat at the piano to come up with an idea. But the chord that I played kinda got misplayed, so that instead of A major 7, I played a B over A.

But I just let it ring for a minute, and thought: “that's cool!” So a new melody was born.

The Psalm is a cry out to God, like so many of them. It's also a reminder to oneself that God will protect us... I find it encouraging in my down moments to remember that I am not alone at all! God and the whole fellowship of believers is with me.
