On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. 1 How lovely is Your tabernacle, O LORD of hosts! 2 My soul longs, yes, even faints For the courts of the LORD; My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. 3 Even the sparrow has found a home, And the swallow a nest for herself, Where she may lay her young— Even Your altars, O LORD of hosts, My King and my God. 4 Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; They will still be praising You. Selah 5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Whose heart is set on pilgrimage. 6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools. 7 They go from strength to strength; Each one appears before God in Zion.[b] 8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah 9 O God, behold our shield, And look upon the face of Your anointed. 10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness. 11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly. 12 O LORD of hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in You! "In June 2009, I was asked by my pastor to put music to Scripture, word for word, specifically to the 15 Songs of Ascents (Psalms 120 to 134). From the start of the first psalm I worked on (which was Psalm 130) to the completion of the last one (Psalm 133), I have not ceased to be amazed, for the Lord has given me melody after melody to fit His Words. I believe this is because we, the church of Jesus Christ, are entering into a season when these psalms will become more and more relevant, as we look forward to our Lord's return. (Please click here to read more on Songs of Ascents)." "I thank my pastor, Ps. Lee Shaw Ming, for allowing the Lord to use him to challenge me to the task. (Your feedback and guidance were crucial to keeping me on track.) I thank my church for enthusiastically learning and singing these Scripture songs. (Hearing you sing them week after week gave me the encouragement to continue writing.) I thank my husband, KW Mui, for providing me with all that I needed to work on these Scripture songs (You were the first to have the vision that we would sing straight out of our Bibles!) I thank my kids (Rebekah and Samuel) for their endless support and love. I thank my friends (in particular Pastor Wah Lok, Catherine Wong, and my sister, Grace Soon) for their feedback and encouragement. I thank my co-producer, sound engineer and "manager", stack45ny, for believing in my music, and for the hours spent on working on these songs and videos. (The Lord bless you richly for your labor of love to see many blessed by these songs). Most of all, I thank my God, my Lord and Master, for seeing me fit to be a channel for what He wants to bless the body of Christ with." - Esther Mui
