Oratorio, part 3, Psalms 24.

 After the opening recitative from Genesis, (just the third day) Psalm 24 is introduced for soloist and chorus. Whose is the earth? The concept of ownership and sojourning is delightfully addressed in this commentary on the life of Isaac. The third video in this post from Liturgy.

Here is the raw data for the psalm 24. There are performances of the original in Hebrew here and here.

1 The normal inscription of a Davidic psalm is reversed.
[1 Corinthians 10:26]
2 establishes, or established.
4 me, נפשׁ (npw) or my life or soul. We do not know who is speaking in this verse so there is no need to suppose that 'me', or 'my' is an error that should read as 'his'. NJPS has 'who has not taken my name in vain'. The verb is identical to the commandment though the object (npw) is not.
