Matthew, who recently completed his doctorate in philosophy and theology at the University of Melbourne, teaches on the spirituality of the psalms and his concise commentary on the settings of the psalms is a feature that is woven through most concert events. In all things Sons of Korah seek to provide an impacting musical journey into the spirit and world of the psalms. The other regular touring members of the group are Jayden Lee, Rod Wilson and Mike Avery. In most cases Sons of Korah tour as a four piece band though they occasionally expand for bigger events.

Psalm 37
Sons Of Korah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or envy those who sin
For like the grass they'll wither soon
Like plants they die away
They soon will die away
Trust in God, do good and dwell
In the safety in the land
And He will give to you
The desires of your heart
Commit your way to the Lord
Trust Him and He will make
Your righteousness shine like the dawn
And the justice of your cause
Shine like the new day sun
In these lyrics, Sons Of Korah's song Psalm 37 encapsulates the theme of finding peace and contentment in the face of injustice and evil. The opening lines suggest that one should not be consumed by worry or jealousy towards those who engage in sinful deeds, as their ultimate fate is temporary. They are compared to grass or plants that will wither and die away. This serves as a reminder that evil actions and their consequences are transient.
The subsequent lines emphasize the importance of placing trust in God and dwelling in the safety of His presence. By delighting in God alone, one can experience fulfillment and satisfaction. It is believed that by seeking God's will and aligning oneself with His desires, one's own desires will be fulfilled. This resonance with God's heart leads to a sense of purpose and protection.
The final lines highlight the significance of committing one's path to the Lord and trusting in Him. By doing so, righteousness will become evident in one's life and it will shine brightly like the dawn. The justice of one's cause will also be seen clearly, akin to the radiant power of the sun at the start of a new day. These lyrics inspire individuals to have faith in God's sovereignty and to rely on Him rather than being consumed by worry or jealousy.

Our mighty Lord and Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I thank you for providing your saints with with this blessed group of brothers and sisters that have such an amazing gift from you Lord, where they can beautifully harmonize and sooth through Your hymns of precious Psalms. Amen
Its been two months and I play your translated Psalms all day every day. While at work on the job site and in the truck on the way to work. Your near perfect verbatim of the psalms is truly an anointed gift from the Almighty. The gift of the instruments you brothers and sisters play, along with the beautiful voice of the dear brother, really hits the heart of the Saints. Faith comes by hearing of the word of the Lord .
Trust in the Lord sons, and bring out more psalms. Remember...Psa 147:10 - He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. (He delighteth not in how many subscribers or followers) Your reward is in heaven sons... The Lord is very pleased with your work of His Psalms, because the Holy Ghost lives in me and sincerely enjoys it.
The great and terrible Day of the Lord is very near sons of ... Keep your head to the heavens and behold because your redemption draws nigh.
If your not led to make more music, then I will trust in the Lord and that is his will. But remember, stay diligent in the word day and night. Dont bow to satan, and say no to the mark of the beast (abomination that causes desolation) that is being injected somewhere around the world as I type.
I love you all in the Mighty Name of JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH.
1Jo 5:7 - For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
HalleluYah!!!

The word of God in song is powerful. Thank you .Psalm 37 is a reminder in the Sovereignty of God and His Divine Protection and Providence. Man cannot do anything apart from God's approval. His ways are higher and though it is very distressing at times to see the world descending into chaos we know God is working and we must not fret.
@ILOVEYESHUA1ST
Faith is a step at a time trusting what Yeshua says.
@johnbickett5109
Yes. Like the Complete Jewish Bible puts it, “trust-grounded obedience”
