Each of the five books into which the Psalms has been divided ends with a doxology of praise (41:13; 72:19-20; 89:52; 106:48; ...read more

    Should we have to pay to use music which was written as a worship song to the Lord? I guess I could equally ask should Pastors be paid money to preach and minister in their Church or should they do that free of charge, as unto the Lord?
