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 73
Sons Of Korah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and after you will take me into glory.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing that I desire besides you.
My flesh, my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing that I desire besides you.
Those who live without you surely die
Those who live without you surely die
But as for me, it is good, good to be near God.
I have made the LORD my refuge;
I will tell of all your deeds.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing that I desire besides you.
The lyrics of "Psalm 73" by Sons Of Korah express the psalmist's journey from envy to contentment in their trust in God. The opening lines express the psalmist's trust in God to always be with them and to provide guidance and support, even in difficult times. The psalmist reflects on their own human weaknesses and acknowledges that their flesh and heart may fail, but they know that God is the strength of their heart and their eternal portion.
The psalmist contrasts their trust in God with the false securities of the world. They recognize that nothing on earth could satisfy them as much as their relationship with God, and no one else in heaven could compare to Him. This realization leads the psalmist to declare that it is good to be near God and to make the Lord their refuge. They vow to continue to tell of God's deeds and to trust in His guidance and comfort.
Overall, the lyrics of "Psalm 73" express a deep trust in God's guidance and provision, and a recognition of the emptiness of earthly pursuits in comparison. The psalmist's journey towards contentment and trust in God is a timeless reminder of the importance of trusting in something greater than ourselves.

Yod Hey Uah Hey pronunced Yahuah and Yod Hey Uah Shin Ayin Pronounced Yahusha Translated Directly from Paleo Hebrew or Phoenician as it's also known. He is the truth, you can run, but you can't hide from the truth. What a person believes has nothing to do with what is fact. Facts are absolute, anything else is false, from the enemy, and a LIE. Fact, the the letter J was invented in 1524, now if that is a absolute fact. Then Jesus was not the Messiahs name. It's not Greek, Aramaic, or Latin, definitely not Hebrew. It cannot be a English translation. As there aren't English people, white people, or black people that speak English named Jesus. Fact, He was born A Hebrew Baby named Yahusha Bar Yoseph. Yahuah the Creator manifest Flesh. Scriptures clearly state, there is one name that you can be saved bye. That name is NOT Jesus. It Didn't Exist!!!! How plain can it be!!! People Go to jail, for stealing someone else's identity. To deny Yahusha, and call him by a defiled name, when they know his correct name, is Rebellion. 1st Samuel 15:23 for Rebellion is as the sin of Witchcraft and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry, because thou Hast rejected the word of Yahuah, why he has also rejected the. If they don't know his name, that's thier fault for not looking hard enough. Seek him with all your might, not what your told, or what is easily picked up. The Traditionsof men. If they can't see that, then I'm really sorry for them, for they don't have eyes to see. Now if you can't see the truth you will never see Him, for he is truth. Proverbs 1:7 the fear of Yahuah is the beginning of knowledge but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Fact, the whole bible was written by men, divinely inspired men, but men. All but one part, the 10 Commandments, they were penned by the very finger of YAHUAH. Written in stone forever. As the bible says clearly, Everlasting covenant. Something about the word Everlasting, That's FOREVER. Fact, the catholic church changed the sabbath in 324 ad, I guess the traditions of men overrides YAHUAH the creator. Psalms 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, Yahuah will not hear me.
Isaiah 42:8 (Hebrew)I am Yahuah; that is my name. I will not give my glory to another, neither my praise to graven images.
1st John 3:4 (kjv) Everyone who sins breaks the law, in fact sin is breaking the law (Hebrew) He who sins transgresses the Torah, for sin is transgression of the Torah
1st John 2:3-4 kjv And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his Commandments. He that saith I know him, and keepeth not his Commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Isaiah 30:9 This is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Yahuah. That would say to the seers, see not, into the prophets, prophesy not unto us right things, but speak unto us smooth things, prophesie deceit.
Romans 1:30 Backbiters, haters of YAH, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient.
Matthew 7:6 give not that which is holy unto the dogs neither cast your Pearls Before Swine lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and Rend you. 2nd Thessalonians 2:10-12 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved, and for this cause YAH (God) shall send them great delusion, That they should believe a lie, that they all might be damned to believe not the truth, and had pleasure in unrighteousness. Unrighteousness = Disobedience Everything you were ever taught is a lie. Everybody in the world grows up under government, govern= rule, ment= mind. You have been programmed, The only thing that you ever knew is what your parents who were raised by government told you, the school you attended, which is the government, and the churches are all controlled 501 c 3 divisions of the government, they make you believe in the name Jesus.
We were taught we live on a round ball, flying through space at 66 million miles an hour, while you're flying around the sun at 550,000 miles per hour, while your spinning at 1069 miles per hour, that's a lot of movements for you to not feel one thing. Their are 400 places in the King James 66 book cannon bible, that states somehow that the Earth is stationary, and does not move. The Sun and moon were made on the fourth day, what did earth revolve around until then. We do not believe our own eyes and our own senses, we believe what somebody tells us, if anyone can prove there is curvature, they will be worth a lot of money. I know of several Prominent men that have millions of dollars up for anyone that can prove there is curvature. A simple Lighthouse proves there is no curvature, NASA says 66 feet of curvature at 10 miles, 6666 feet of curvature at a hundred miles, how can a 70 foot Lighthouse be seen for 30 or 40 miles, Google it. The stature Liberty is 300 ft tall and it can be seen for 60 to 70 miles at 60 miles it would be under over 2,000 feet of curvature. Water is always level it doesn't bend. It can't be round guys, no matter how much you want it to be, because you've been taught that. It's a LIE, and if they can make you believe a lie that big, what else do you believe, either can see it or you can't, you have eyes to see and ears to hear, or you're deaf, dumb, and blind. Choose the Creator not Religion. WAKE UP we have been asleep for two thousand years he's calling an army out. Time to pick a side we can't idly set by, it will get us nowhere wake up for the Great Awakening!!!

A PRAYER OF SALVATION: Dear friends, Take this moment, If you want to accept Jesus Christ free gift of salvation, pray this from your heart, humbly to God: “DEAR LORD JESUS, I BELIEVE THAT YOU DIED ON THE CROSS AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD FOR MY SINS. I ASK YOU TO PLEASE COME INTO MY HEART AND FORGIVE ME FOR MY SINS, SAVE ME, TAKE ME TO BE WITH YOU WHEN I DIE. I NOW RECEIVE YOU AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR. THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME. IN JESUS NAME AMEN. “ If you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ and meant it with all of your heart, you are now a child of God and will go to heaven when you die.

Psalm 73:23-28 NIV
Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. [24] You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. [25] Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. [26] My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. [27] Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you. [28] But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.
