Psalm 121:1-2 · “Total Praise” · Richard Smallwood with Vision

~ FAITHFUL “Total Praise” Richard Smallwood with Vision Psalm 121:1-2 Sing it. The opening carries Psalm 121:1-2 in King James English, turned into direct address. The question and the Maker title are not sung, and no translation is named, so treat it as paraphrase.

✓ The song reaches the psalm's answer. Where the help comes from is settled in the opening lines, and it is settled on God rather than on the hills

⚠ No translation is named on the release, in the copyright line, or in Smallwood's own published account. The King James flavour of the opening has to be recognised, not verified. A hymnologist quoting the KJV alongside the song is citing the psalm, not the song's source

Psalm 121:1-4 · “Praise You in This Storm” · Casting Crowns

~ FAITHFUL “Praise You in This Storm” Casting Crowns Psalm 121:1-4 Sing it. The bridge is Psalm 121:1-2 whole, the question asked and answered, and the rest is the writers' own prayer from a storm. No translation is named, so treat the bridge as close wording, not exact quotation.

✓ The bridge keeps Psalm 121's question attached to its answer: where help comes from is asked in one line and located in the next, in the Lord and not the hills

⚠ No translation is named, and the bridge matches none exactly. The opening phrase is the KJV's, the question and answer follow modern wording, so the sung text cannot be checked against any one Bible

Psalm 121:1-8 · “Psalm 121 (He Watches Over You)” · Sons of Korah

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
