![]() ![]() John Rutter set it in English as a movement of his Requiem. The psalm has often been set to music, by composers such as Orlando di Lasso and Heinrich Schütz. It is paraphrased in hymns such as Martin Luther's " Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir" in German. The psalm forms a regular part of Jewish, Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and other Protestant liturgies. The New American Bible Revised Edition (2010) divides the psalm into two parts: verses 1-4 are a cry for mercy verses 5-8 are a model expression of trust in God. In the slightly different numbering system used in the Greek Septuagint version of the Bible, and in the Latin Vulgate, this psalm is Psalm 129. The first verse is a call to God in deep sorrow, from "out of the depths" or "out of the deep", as it is translated in the King James Version of the Bible and the Coverdale translation (used in the Book of Common Prayer) respectively. ![]() ![]() Psalm 130 is the 130th psalm of the Book of Psalms, one of the penitential psalms and one of 15 psalms that begin with the words "A song of ascents" (Shir Hama'alot). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Though Daddy had never said a word about it, they both knew that he would rather people didn't see him work with dough. ![]() "I don't care if people watch me make breed.

Be it with words, interviews, diary entries, letters, fake documents, and whatnot. I think this has to do mostly with how the story is told. So I would say that mockumentary books are those that, while fictitious, mimic nonfiction. Hey, maybe they’ll even have you googling the facts only to discover that the thing never happened at all. Maybe even a mix of both, like What We Do in the Shadows.īut how does that apply to books? Instead of documentaries, we have nonfiction.
