God allowed me to reach a glorious milestone in my life yesterday morning--I finished reading the book of Psalms for the 100th time since I was saved in 1990! The leading impetus for my intense immersion in the Psalms over the last 12 years (75x through the book since 2012) has been my belief that knowing God's mind fully about what music He accepts in corporate worship is only possible through saturating our minds with His premier revelation about music!
I noticed that when my favorite reader, Max McClean, reads from the Psalms (ESV) on Biblegateway.com, he does not read the headings (“A Psalm of Asaph on Jeduthun,” or “A Psalm of David”, etc.).
What is your viewpoint on these headings (often called “titles”), found in the Hebrew text? Do you believe these heading are part of inspired Scripture (some versions number them as verse 1), or do you believe that these headings are something less than inspired Scripture?
I personally love the Psalms and reached my conclusion in the mid/late 1970’s. What is your view?
