Humor: The Anglican Blue (by Huber)

Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15

Well, since the psalms are meant to be sung, it's actually the signal to begin the second part of the psalm tone.

As a matter of fact, when singing, one takes a breath at the asterisk. The second half of the psalm tone is almost always a repetition or recapitulation of the first, so this makes sense.

It also makes sense to breathe there when reciting - even if not singing. And it's a good time to pause for reflection as well as breath.

David, Saul...all the Kings of Israel were annointed "Sons of God" and "Messiah".

Though your Christian point is yours to make.

On a side note, I will be singing all 150 psalms in gregorian plainchant (with a few psalms done metrical and anglican chant) in a Psalter Marathon at my church (Christ Church, Kensington MD) on October 28, 2006, beginning at 9am and completing about 8 hours after. We will be careful to avoid acCENTing the wrong syLLAbles. :)
