Very interesting, considering that there are only 150 Psalms!

Gah. Cool. But very annoying when they gotta go all "oooh look how fast I can play".

Sorry Rich,

but we're talking about the Swedish (Modern) version of the Book of Psalms, the current issue holds 325 psalms. I'm guessing, just guessing, that the number 161 relates to the standardized (sp?) 1937 version;

Reformationsdagen.

161
1. FRAMFAREN är natten, Som höljde
vår jord, Och funnen är skatten, Guds
heliga ord. Det folk, som hölls fånget I mörker
och kval, Ser ljuset uppgånget I skuggornas dal,
Och människofunder Som dimmor förgå, Men
sanningens grunder Orubbliga stå. Guds kyrka
sig gläder. Halleluja!

The first of five verses..

Haven't got the new one availible to check if 161 still is the same...

Hi..

Here is the orginal psalm from the swedish psalm book.

It's from the new psalmbook.....

I can't install the needed plugin to listen, but the title explained it all-- there are Psalms included that are newly written and not in the canon of Scripture. Which makes for a very interesting discussion which I will decline to embark upon!

It seems that I should have taken the phrase "new psalmbook" literally!
