A Psalm by definition is a sacred song or hymn. It is praising the Lord through good music. It is a celebration of the Atonement. A Psalm can be created, played or sung by
any one. Although sacred in nature, it can have a beat and be lively (with the
exception of during Sacrament meeting or in the Temple). All are
accepted. The Lord loves to hear you play and sing. He made you to create!
In James 5:13 it
says: Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing
psalms.
In D&C 136:28 it says: 28 If thou art merry, praise the
Lord with singing, with music, with dancing, and with a prayer of praise and
thanksgiving.
We are even counseled in D& C 25:12 For my soul
delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer
unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads.
WHAT!!! The LORD’s
soul DELIGHTETH in the song of the heart… The Lord loves a heart filled song….not
only does he love it but he says he will answer it with a blessing upon your
head!
When we speak through the computer we call it ichat, when we
listen to music, we listen on an ipod, when we talk on the phone we sometimes
use an iphone, this year at girls camp we are going to write lyrics and praise
the Lord through good music. We are going to sing and dance and create.
We are
going to delight the Lord with the songs of our heart…
iPsalm, do you?
