Psalms by James Carvin, such as the example above, are not made for congregational worship so much as individual psalmody and learning. Many of the Psalms were likely sung in Israel outdoors rather than in courts. Psalm 2 is considered a “Coronation Psalm,” which means in may have been sung in a procession to a palace as a new king was enthroned.
On the other hand, many of the Psalms are deeply prophetic. Are the nations your possession? Who possesses the very ends of the Earth? Jesus alone? May you be begotten today as an heir with Christ. Song is a memory device. Once learned, the word of God will dwell in you richly.
