Give Ear Unto My Words, O Lord - Piano and Choir Hymn | Psalms Music Project

Give Ear Unto My Words, O Lord - Traditional Piano & Choir Version Hymn by Dwight Armstrong Based on Psalm 5 This hymn is a musical setting of Psalm 5, a morning prayer of David calling upon the Lord for mercy, guidance, and protection. The psalm opens with a plea for God to hear the voice of prayer, then contrasts the holiness of God with the way of the wicked, declaring that evil cannot dwell in His presence. “Give Ear Unto My Words, O Lord” expresses both reverence and confidence: the believer comes before God in abundant grace, worships toward His holy place, and asks to be led in righteousness because of surrounding enemies. The hymn closes with the joyful assurance that all who trust in the Lord may rejoice, for He blesses the righteous and surrounds them with favor as with a shield. This hymn is one of Dwight Armstrong’s Scripture-based settings, preserving the reverent, psalm-centered tradition of The Bible Hymnal. This lyric video is part of our ongoing Psalms Music Project, presenting the Psalms in song and honoring the beauty, wisdom, and spiritual power of the Scriptures. Dwight L. Armstrong was a composer of Scripture-based hymns, best known for setting many of the Psalms and other biblical passages to reverent four-part hymn arrangements. His hymns began appearing in 1948 and continued through the 1950s into the early 1970s, becoming a central part of The Bible Hymnal tradition. Copyright / Public Domain Note: Dwight L.

This video is a newly created musical arrangement and production of the hymn based on the hymn composition and Psalm text. No original third-party sound recording is being reused. May this hymn encourage trust in God, reverence before Him, and the peace that comes from dwelling safely in His care.
