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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To You our vows will be fulfilled
Oh, You who hear our prayers
To You all men will come
When we were overwhelmed by sin
You forgave our transgressions
Blessed are those You choose
We are filled with good things
Of Your holy place
You answer us with awesome deeds
Of righteousness, oh Lord
The hope of all the ends of earth
And of the farthest seas
You armed Yourself with strength, oh Lord
You formed the mountains by Your power
You still the roaring of the seas
And the turmoil of the world
People living far away
Fear your wonders every day
When morning dawns and evening fades
Call forth songs of joy
