La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
The lord id my shephered , the lord is my shephed
My friend and helper, i shall not want
He's there to guide me , standing beside me
The lord is my shepherd, i shall not want
Spoken:the lord is my shepherd, i shall not want
He maketh me to lie in green pastures
He leadeth me beside still waters
He restoreth my soul
{i shall not want...}
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name' sake
And yea, though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
I will fear no evil : for thou art me;
Thy rod and thy staff,they comfort me.
[i shall not want...]
Thou preparest a table before me in the present of mine enemies;
Thou annointh my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and merry shall follow me all the days of my life.
And i shall not dwell in the house of the lord forever
