Sometimes it is appropriate to weep rather than laugh (Eccles 7:2).

There are psalms of rejoicing and triumph, psalms of petition, and psalms of lament. Through the psalms we are able to sing to the Lord regardless of what situation we find ourselves in.

I love the Psalms!

I love the Psalms also. It's just not easy to compose modern music with the lyrics. Many modern songs we sing have verses of the Psalms in them.

Dude, flutes are girly.

I am sure the Psalms made wonderful lyrics in their original language but their many English translations leave a bit to be desired when one attempts to "sing" them. The words simply do not flow right and sound forced to fit whatever melody someone comes up with.

As far as flutes sounding girly, I am thinking about many of the old civil war battle songs that were played before and during battles. I do agree with you about the harp though and that most evil of all instruments, the tambourine!
