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 is my strength
And my song He has become
My salvation
He is my God
And I will praise Him
I will lift Him up
Who is like You
Majestic in holiness
Awesome in glory
Working wonders
In Your unfailing love
You will lead
The people that
You've redeemed
And in Your strength
You will guide them
To Your holy place
Who among the gods is like You
who in all the heavens
who among the gods is like You
