“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.”

Wikipedia article "DAR Constitution Hall".

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.

Look Thou Upon Me (File Size 389KB)
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
