Seven Times a Day – A Psalm 119 Blues Song | Shin Stanza

🔥 'Seven Times a Day" is a soul-fired blues anthem rooted in the Shin stanza (ש) of Psalm 119, verses 161–168. It’s a song of praise born under pressure — where even under persecution from princes, the psalmist proclaims awe, joy, and unwavering love for the Word of God.

This portion of Psalm 119 is overflowing with deep worship and assurance. It testifies to the transformative power of God’s Word — a source of peace, direction, and delight.

Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Bible, is an acrostic poem in Hebrew where each stanza begins with a different letter of the alphabet. The Shin stanza is the 21st section, and each of its eight verses begins with the Hebrew letter ש (Shin). While King David is often credited as the author, some scholars believe it may have been written during the post-exilic period, possibly by Ezra the Scribe, when Israel was rebuilding both their identity and their faith.

"Seven Times a Day" brings this ancient praise into the rhythm and soul of the blues — letting Scripture breathe in a modern voice that still aches and rejoices like the Psalmist once did.

📜 Psalm 119:161–168 (WEB)

161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause,
but my heart stands in awe of your words.

162 I rejoice at your word,
as one who finds great plunder.

163 I hate and abhor falsehood.
I love your law.

164 Seven times a day, I praise you,
because of your righteous ordinances.

165 Those who love your law have great peace.
Nothing causes them to stumble.

166 I have hoped for your salvation, Yahweh.
I have done your commandments.

167 My soul has observed your testimonies.
I love them exceedingly.

168 I have obeyed your precepts and your testimonies,
for all my ways are before you.

They tried to break me, but I stood in Your word

No crown, no chain gonna steal this praise

But I won’t bow or run

They come with power, but I got truth
[Rooted in Your Word — it holds my youth]

[Verse 2]
“I rejoice at Your word like one who finds great plunder”
It’s treasure in the dust
No lie, no thunder
(Gonna shake my trust)

Seven times a day
I lift my voice and sing
(Seven times a day…)
To the Righteous King
Your word is my treasure, my lamp, my guide
(You’re the fire in my bones I can’t hide)
