In all places

and at all seasons

you may sing with the mind.

For whether you walk in the market place,

or begin a journey, or sit down with your friends

you may rouse up your mind or call out silently. So also

Moses called out, and God heard him. If you are an artisan,

you may sing sitting and working in your shop. If you are a soldier,

or if you sit in judgment, you may do the very same. One may

also sing without voice, the mind resounding inwardly.For we sing, not to men, but to God, who can

hear our hearts and enter into the

silences of our minds.

In the churches there are vigils,and David is first and middle and last.

In the singing of early morning hymns Davidis first and middle and last. In the tents at funeral

processions David is first and middle and last. In thehouses of virgins there is weaving, and David is first and

middle and last. What a thing of wonder! Many who have noteven made their first attempt at reading know all of David by heart

and recite him in order. Yet it is not only in the cities and the churchesthat he is so prominent on every occasion and with people of all ages; even

in the fields and deserts and stretching into uninhabited wasteland, herouses sacred choirs to God with greater zeal. In the monasteries

there is a holy chorus of angelic hosts, and David is first andmiddle and last. In the convents there are bands of virgins

who imitate Mary, and David is first and middle andlast. In the deserts men crucified to this world holdconverse with God, and David is first and middleand last. And at night all men are dominated byphysical sleep and drawn into the depths, and

David alone stands by, arousing all theservants of God to angelic vigils,

turning earth into heavenand making angels

of men.
