"Be Still and Know" (Psalm 46:10) is a word from the Lord for the storms of our lives. It is mirrored by Jesus' rebuke of the raging seas as the disciples cower in the boat: "Peace, be still!" (Mark 4:39). The Psalms assure us that when we cry out to the Lord he still hears and answers, regardless of the chaos we are experiencing. These twenty-four songs capture the message of the psalms from which they are drawn. They assure us that God answers when we cry out to him. They encourage us to trust in the Lord through times of trouble. They express confidence that he provides for us and orders our lives. The ancient psalms still give us the words for our worship and our prayers. They teach us how to express our pain and fears in the worst of times, how to trust God regardless of circumstances, and how to place our hope in the one who still calms the storm. All of these songs are found in Volume One of Timeless: Ancient Psalms for the Church Today (Psalms 1-41: In the Day of Distress) and Volume Two (Psalms 42-89: God Enthroned Forever).
