Sons of Korah was founded by Matthew Jacoby and Matthew continues to co-ordinate the project. 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.
Sons of Korah is also a partner of the Bible Societies in Australia and New Zealand and in most cases they tour in support of the work of the Bible Society.
Psalm 37a
Sons Of Korah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For like the grass they'll wither soon
Like plants they′ll die away
They soon will die away
Trust in God do good and dwell in safety in the land
Delight yourself in God alone and He will give to you
The desires of you heart
Commit your way to the Lord trust Him and He will make
Justice of your cause shine like the noonday sun
Sons of Korah's Psalm 37a speaks of a common theme in the Psalms: the struggle between the righteous and the wicked. The first verse admonishes against worrying about the success of evil men or envying their sin, as they will soon fade away like grass and plants. The following verses encourage trusting in God, doing good, and finding delight in Him, with promises that He will provide the desires of one's heart and make their righteousness shine like the dawn.
The psalmist urges his audience not to succumb to feelings of hopelessness in the face of evil men who seem to prosper, but rather to trust in God's ultimate justice and provision. He reminds them that goodness and faithfulness in serving God will ultimately result in reward and blessings. The message of the Psalm 37a is one of hope and faith in the face of adversity, and it encourages believers to continue trusting in God's promises, even in the face of trials and troubles.

Don't fret because of evil men or envy those who sin
Do not worry or be jealous of those who act maliciously or commit wrongdoing
For like the grass they'll wither soon
They will face a swift and inevitable downfall, similar to the fading away of grass
Like plants they'll die away
They will expire like any other vegetation
They soon will die away
Their fate of transience is already decided and they will shortly cease to exist
Trust in God do good and dwell in safety in the land
Believe in God, do what is right, and reside securely in your surroundings
Delight yourself in God alone and He will give to you
Experience pure joy in God and He will provide you with
The desires of you heart

Your moral uprightness to radiate like the sunrise and

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”
