The corporate singing of God’s people serves to bind them together as a community. We often talk about “the music of a generation” and of the Beetles, Elvis, Simon and Garfunkel, or Michael Jackson serving as an identity and marker in the cultural memory. The Psalms served this role in the life of the people of Israel—from the Psalms of Moses and David, the sons of Korah, and the Psalms of Ascent sung on the way to Jerusalem. Having a collective body of sung texts weaves together individuals into a corporate entity.
