3 songs checked against the passage they lean on. Each one was graded on its own, against what that song does with the text.

How the 3 checks landed

~ FAITHFUL 3

This is a count, not a verdict. We grade songs, one at a time, against what each one does with the text. A tally of those checks describes a catalogue. It is not a judgment of the people who wrote or sang it, and no number here puts anyone on or off The List. Most drift is craft pressure, not deception. Read the proofs, not the arithmetic.

The songs

~ FAITHFUL “Psalm 137 (Babylon)” Sons of Korah Psalm 137:1-9 Sing it. It is Psalm 137 in order, in singable English rather than a strict quotation. The transcriptions checked stop at verse 8, so read the psalm's last verse yourself.

✓ The band's own upload carries a signed commentary that works through the whole psalm, including the last verse, so the hardest part is explained right beside the music

⚠ Three separate transcriptions of this setting carry the psalm through verse 8. None carries verse 9. Nothing the band itself publishes could be checked against, so this rests on the transcriptions

Psalm 131:1-3~ FAITHFUL “Psalm 131 (Stilled My Soul)” Sons of Korah Psalm 131:1-3 Sing it. It is the whole of Psalm 131 in order, three verses in under two minutes, in singable English rather than a strict quotation. No translation is named, so treat the wording as the band's own.

✓ All three verses are set, in order, with nothing skipped, nothing moved, and nothing added from outside the psalm

⚠ No translation is named on the release, on the track, or on the band's page for this psalm, so the wording cannot be checked against a version

Psalm 121:1-8~ FAITHFUL “Psalm 121 (He Watches Over You)” Sons of Korah Psalm 121:1-8 Sing it. It is the whole of Psalm 121, all eight verses in order, in singable English rather than a strict quotation. No translation is named, so treat the wording as the band's own.

✓ All eight verses are set, in order, with nothing skipped and nothing moved

⚠ No translation is named on the release, on the track, or on the band's page for this psalm, so the wording cannot be checked against a version
