Introduction

This project is an exercise in experimental psalmody. Through these cyber-psalms I’m trying to answer the question, “What would the psalms sound like if they were written in modern times by a modern David?” I aspire to be like the poet king but can only claim to share his name. With these online prayers I’m hoping to glorify God with a wide-spectrum of thoughts and emotions. Originally I didn’t allow comments on the Cyber-Psalms but created separate posts for my comments and comments by my readers. But this system was too cumbersome and when I opened the Cyber-Psalms for comments I didn’t find it to be a big distraction. My goal is to write 150 cyber-psalms. If I publish one every Friday that should take about three years. However, I’m better at starting projects than finishing them so we’ll see!

    This is wonderful. I found you via Stranz blog. God answers my prayers so quickly. Last night at my Christian house group, we watched a modern rewording, almost rap-like, of Psalm 22 and I thought to myself what a wonderful idea and a way of communicating David’s truths to a modern world – and this morning I find you. I will keep up with your progress.
