“W. Edwards Deming:The Man and His Music.”

Dr. Deming enjoyed composing music. Although he heard his compositions played and sung many times, one of his proudest moments occurred on 3 April 1993. An evening dedicated to his music and sponsored by the Ford Motor Company was presented by the Washington Civic Symphony at Constitution Hall in Washington, D. C. It was entitled, “W. Edwards Deming:The Man and His Music.”

While his main focus was on liturgical pieces, he also wrote a rendition of the Star Spangled Banner using the same words with different music. He never felt that the "pub" music of the original was appropriate for a National Anthem. Some of the pieces are in his written hand. We hope you will enjoy them and pass them along.

Note: Music is only available as a PDF file. In order to read it, you will need Adobe Acrobat reader.

Does this psalm differ from what you were expecting? Don't be confused. There are two systems for arranging the psalms: the Septuagint and the Masoretic. We use the Septuagint system here. In the Masoretic system, which is used in most modern Bible translations, this psalm is called Psalm 26, and the previous psalm is known as Psalm 25.

Words from Psalm 25
Handwritten, Undated

Look thou upon me and be merciful unto me, for I am alone and poor,

Heed my repentance and labor, and forgive me all my sin, and forgive me all my sin ;- O my God.

16Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.

16求你回顧,求你憐憫,因為我是孤苦伶仃。1617求你減輕我心的苦難,救拔我脫離我的憂患;1718垂視我的勞苦和可憐,赦免我犯的一切罪愆。1819請看我的仇敵如何眾多,他們都兇狠地痛恨著我。1920求你保護我的生命,向我施救,別叫我因投奔你而蒙受羞辱。2021願清白和正直護衛我!上主,因我唯有仰望你。2122天主,求你拯救以色列,使他脫離一切的禍災。

16Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me; for I am alone and poor.1717The troubles of my heart are multiplied: deliver me from my necessities.1818See my abjection and my labour; and forgive me all my sins.1919Consider my enemies for they are multiplied, and have hated me with an unjust hatred.2020Keep thou my soul, and deliver me: I shall not be ashamed, for I have hoped in thee.2121The innocent and the upright have adhered to me: because I have waited on thee.2222Deliver Israel, O God, from all his tribulations. as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name
