I turned the psalms into songs that might speak to our generation. Wade Cottingham recorded these around 1990, featuring musicians from our congregation &#8211; Darlene Brooks, Jackie McShane and others. We sing these every year during our celebration of Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Psalms of Ascent<\/strong>, sung by pilgrims going up to Jerusalem:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/communityoncolumbia.org\/Psalms_Ascent_Hallel\/Psalm 120.mp3\">Psalm 120<\/a> &#8211;
