• Notes: The Asian melody carries well the text of this psalm. It should not be sung forcefully, but gently, as a wise bard sharing ancient proverbs. The melody line may be doubled by flute or violin. A second instrument could play in canon at the measure. The bass line should be played by a pitched percussion instrument or may be plucked on a cello or bass. The ostinato pattern may be varied rhythmically.
