I would like to thank all UHH for their kind comments on all my entries. I believe that God gave us all
instruments and knowledge to help us have peace and rest in this sinful world. What ever instrument we have music, voice, camera etc. we should use that knowledge to give praise to Him.
May you find peace and rest in the word of God.

The same for you. Lovely image and matched verse.

That passage has nothing to do with musical instruments or being at peace in the world. It's David's pray to be delivered from horrible terrifying oppression.
Here is the context:
“Give ear to my prayer, O God, and hide not yourself from
my plea for mercy! Attend to me, and answer me; I am restless in my complaint and
I moan, because of the noise of the enemy, because of the
oppression of the wicked. For they drop
trouble upon me, and in anger they
bear a grudge against me.My heart is in
anguish within me; the
terrors of death have fallen upon me.
Fear and trembling come upon me, and
horror overwhelms me. And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest;”

Nonetheless, the OP's post is a beautiful sentiment and a testimony to God's bounty and blessings. It doesn't suffer from any lack of context as this is not a Bible study but a pictorial celebration of God's goodness and beauty. Be at peace, friend...

That would be great if the bible was like a collection of pithy sayings or poems that were meant to mean whatever you want them to mean but it isn't. It's God's Holy sacred word to man. At least is deserves the respect to use it or quote it with the actual MEANING intended by the author (God)
There are a LOT of good things we can say about God, what He's done for us, what He will do for us without butchering the bible to do it.
If it's a beautiful picture of God's bounty and blessings then great...leave the passage off.
I do know that Psalm 55:6 refers to David and what he was going through, I also think anyone reading Christian Photography Group also knows.
My comment about music, voice, camera etc had nothing to do with the Bible text. If you were to read it as I wrote it, you would see that I was praising God and thanking Him for the gifts that He gives each person and we should use that talent to praise Him.

Yes, I know both of those things. I was just perplexed as to why you'd misuse scripture that way, that's all. There are a LOT of texts about God's goodness and blessings that could have been used, I was pointing that out.
As Christian I would think that the book that contains God's word would be sacred and would be reverenced and treated with the utmost respect, that's all.
