23rd Pslam for Bassists
by Anonymous

The Lord is my drummer; I shall not rush.

He maketh me to lay out in tasteful places;
He leadeth me beside cool meter changes;

He restoreth my "one".
He leadeth me in the right repeats
For His name's sake.

Yea, though I read through the trickiest
road maps, I will fear no train wrecks;
For You are with it;
Your ride and Your snare, they comfort
me.

You setteth up a solo for me
In the presence of mine guitarists;
You annointeth my lines with drive;
My groove overflows.

Surely good feel and swing will follow me
All the tunes of each set;
And I will dwell in the pocket
The whole gig long.

Amen.
