POD - Psalms On Demand

As part of this blog, I am now hoping to produce POD: Psalms On Demand, for people to download and listen to, at a time convenient for them... They will also be given to a friend of mine who is going overseas on mission to a country where Christianity is severely restricted due to government legislation... Knowing my church, they may even be given to the housebound members on CD...  Now I could do it myself, but that would get very boring very quickly for anybody listening!  Just ask my wife how tedious it is to listen to me reading aloud for more than 10 minutes!! LOL So, I am endeavouring to recruit other people into this project as well...
Why am I doing it?  Good question and glad you asked!!
Most of the Psalm MP3 series, I hear are of one persons voice only! I would like to change that.
I have people across the globe contributing, including my own local church. So hopefully not only building bridges between continents, but also between the virtual and the local churches, because it will also involve some people I know, who have very little interest in, or knowledge of, virtual church and the internet in general...
To reflect the universality of the Psalms across nations, age and gender.
A sample of the sort of thing I am doing, is attached to this post...
What do you need?
You need a computer with a sound-card and a microphone... If you dont have voice recording software already, there are numerous programmes available to download free of charge...
Details
You can use any standard translation of the Bible, just tell me what version you will use so I can check the audio against the translation...
At the beginning, say what number the Psalm is, such as "Psalm One Hundred"...
No need to say the verse numbers... No music in the background, because people with hearing problems probably wont be able to hear you speak...
The best free programme to use is Audacity, and it is found here
Record it and save the file at the highest possible quality in MP3 format...
I am sure you probably have further questions, so put them here and I shall endeavour to do my best to answer them!
Thank you and Blessings

Psalm 23

Psalm 23
Yahweh is my shepherd:
I shall lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil.
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever.

Old Testament
Book of Psalms
Summarised in 1 Minute
Key Verses
Psalm 19:13-14 - Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.
Psalm 145:21 - My mouth will speak the praise of Yahweh. Let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.
Summary
The book of Psalms, mostly written by King David, tells of the full range of human experience in a very personal and practical way. A lot of the Psalms foretell the coming of the Messiah, not only for Israel but the world. Certainly nearly all of them contain praises to the Lord.
