If you're not following My Soul Among Lions on Facebook, you might not know that they've been livestreaming a new song each Tuesday night at 8pm as they work their way from Psalm 21 to Psalm 30 in preparation for their next album this Fall.
Clearnote Bloomington has had the pleasure of being led in worship with these songs each Sunday morning, followed by a sermon on the same Psalm. They're calling it the Summer Psalm Series.
Everybody else can listen to the sermons here, and catch the songs on Facebook. Here's the livestream of Psalm 25 from this past Tuesday night, and the corresponding sermon.
Many of you know of our musicians project creating new versifications and musical settings for all 150 Psalms. The project is named from David's phrase in Psalm 54:
My soul is among lions; I must lie among those who breathe forth fire, Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows And their tongue a sharp sword. (Psalms 57:4)
A couple weeks ago, Caleb Samland who is majoring in classical guitar performance led us in worship with his arrangement of My Soul Among Lions' version of Psalm 4, O God of My Righteousness. I hope he'll give us an arrangement of each of My Soul Among Lion's 150 Psalms!
Speaking of Psalm 4, here is my wife's and my favorite recording of this composition....
While we're on the subject of our Psalms project, My Soul Among Lions is pleased and excited to announce we'll be on tour this week. The venues are in South Carolina and Tennessee:
Wed, August 17 @ 6pm | MIDSUMMER FESTIVAL | Lexington Pres. Church, Lexington, SC
Thu, August 18 @ 7pm | WORKSHOP | The Climb, Columbia, SC (hosted by First Pres. Church's music program)

Last summer we asked you to help us with the My Soul Among Lions Psalms 1–10 Kickstarter. Many of you did so and God used your generosity to bring about the production and distribution of seventeen new versions of the first ten Psalms. God has blessed this work as these songs have become part of the household music of many individuals, families, and churches both near and far.
Would you please watch and share this Psalm 11-20 Kickstarter video and do whatever you can to help us with this work? And if you can't help with the Kickstarter campaign, we ask you to pre-order the album because even that will be a help and encouragement to us. Thanks. To God be the glory!
