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.
O Lord my God, incline Your ear
and answer me for I am poor.
Preserve my life, rescue this slave
who trusts in You, O Lord my God
O Lord my God, show me Your Grace
To you I cry all the day
Make glad this soul, Your servant save
My soul I lift, to You my God
Teach me Your way and I will walk in Your truth
Unite my heart that I may fear only You
O Lord my God, you are so good
Quick to forgive and bountiful
in lovingkindness to everyone
who calls on you, O Lord my God
Teach me Your way and I will walk in Your truth
Unite my heart that I may fear only You, only You, only You
O Lord my God, I will give thanks
with my whole heart and glorify
Your name forever, for You have saved
my soul from Hell, O Lord my God
Teach me Your way and I will walk in Your truth
Unite my heart that I may fear only You
Teach me Your way and I will walk in Your truth
Unite my heart that I may fear only You, only You, only You, only You
