pause, and consider

Psalm 46:3 · and seventy more times

Nobody is certain what the word instructed the musicians to do. It sits at the end of a line about mountains falling into the sea, and again after a complaint, and again in the middle of praise. Whatever it meant, it meant stop.

18 designs What this is

four collections

PS-046

Refuge

For the ground that does not move.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Psalm 46:1 KJV · Selah at 46:3

The psalm names an earthquake, a sea, and mountains falling into it — and then says do not fear. Not because the ground is steady. Because the refuge is.

PS-084

Ascent

For the long walk, in the same direction.

They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

Psalm 84:7 KJV · Selah at 84:8

A pilgrim psalm, sung on the road up. It does not promise the road is short. It promises you arrive with more than you left with.

PS-077

Vigil

For the hours that will not end.

Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

Psalm 77:4 KJV · Selah at 77:3

Asaph cannot sleep and will not pretend otherwise. Half the psalm is complaint. It is in the book anyway — which is the point.

PS-060

Banner

For the things worth being seen carrying.

Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

Psalm 60:4 KJV · Selah at 60:4

The other three collections are quiet on purpose. This one is not. A banner is raised to be read from a distance, by people who were not told what it means — which is the oldest job Christian imagery has ever had.

PS-068

Doxology

For the end of the argument.
