Isn’t that interesting? How many songs are written for the the church today that are not songs of praise? I dare say, not many. Charles Spurgeon said of this Psalm, “The dedication to the chief musician proves that this song of mingled measures and alternate strains of grief and woe was intended for public singing, and thus a deathblow is given to the notion that nothing but praise should be sung.” So David sometimes sang the blues. This Psalms’ title is “To the Chief Musician”. It focuses on God! No matter the structure, David’s desire was that God would be praised, not David. The fact is that the Psalm does not even mention the house or the Temple. With there being no across the board agreement on whether this was written for the dedication of David’s palace or the Temple, all I can say is, it doesn’t really matter for our purposes. God had told David that he would not be the one to build the Temple, but that his son, Solomon, would be the one to build it.ĭavid made all the preparations for building the Temple, so when Solomon became king he would have everything needed to move forward with the project. Others, including Charles Spurgeon, believe that David wrote it before the temple was ever built. So, some scholars believe this was written for the dedication of David’s palace, which was built before the Temple.

A Song at the dedication of the house of David.” The title of this Psalm, depending on the translation is “A Psalm.

He’s a really good blues guitar player and singer, as well as being a preacher. I really like blues music, and several years ago, when I was doing the Lifespring Weekend Music Show, of which I did 102 episodes that you can listen to at, I discovered a guy named Jimmie Bratcher. And it might surprise you that there actually is such a thing as Christian blues music. Today we’re going to read Psalms 30-32, and I’m calling the episode “_David Sings the Blues_” This title in in reference specifically to chapter 31.
