Psalm 117 NRSV

[zawissius]

Psalm 117.

[envangeli]

Psalm 117 is the shortest psalm in the Bible, consisting of only two verses and it is not associated with any particular author in the biblical text. It occupies the exact middle position when counting chapters from the beginning and the end of the Bible. It's also the shortest chapter in the entire Bible, further emphasizing its unique position. In essence, Psalm 117 is a concise and powerful declaration of God's enduring love and faithfulness. It calls on all nations to praise the Lord and acknowledge His greatness. The psalm's message of praise from all nations is echoed and fulfilled in the New Testament, particularly in the Book of Romans where Paul uses it to illustrate the inclusion of Gentiles in God's plan of salvation.

The words were adapted by Tinus Badenhorst to a melody that he composed. He decided to use 3 languages that, from a linear perspective, progress from old to new: Latin, English and Afrikaans. Although some of the melody ideas came through around the year 2009, the first structured version of the ideas started in September 2015. Recordings began in 2016 and in July 2016 they were edited with creative input and mixed and mastered by Mauritz Lotz and in January 2017 it was released on all music platforms. To invoke joyful and exuberant movement, a catching dance rhythm was merged with the melody, with the bass line idea inspired by the bass line of "Ain't No Sunshine" from Bill Withers
