For the past few years when I\u2019ve arrived at the Psalms section of my class on the Bible, I\u2019ve shared a couple of examples of psalms in popular music: \u201cBy The Rivers Of Babylon\u201d by Boney M and \u201c40\u201d by U2<\/a>. I usually end the class with a song that segues nicely into the next subject, Wisdom literature: \u201cTurn Turn Turn\u201d by The Byrds.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sharing the songs below. Do you have other recommendations for the Bible set to music?<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fGyfxOCYvtM<\/a>\n<\/iframe>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aNopQq5lWqQ\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aNopQq5lWqQ<\/a>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7622297540113836091-6376384005027390194?l=exploringourmatrix.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the past few years when I\u2019ve arrived at the Psalms section of my class on the Bible, I\u2019ve shared a couple of examples of psalms in popular music: \u201cBy The Rivers Of Babylon\u201d by Boney M and \u201c40\u201d by U2.
