Bring in the year of Jubilee- by Paul Zach, Leslie Jordan, Natalie Taylor Leonhardt, Isaac Wardell, Wendell Kimbrough, Nicholas Chambers, Jessica Fox, Kate BluettBring in the Year of Jubilee (Psalm 37) lyrics © Integrity's Praise!

All rights reserved. The Jubilee Year is an revolutionary idea expressed in the 25th chapter of Leviticus. It says that every 50 years there is to be a radical return to equality within the nation. This same prophetic message is summed up in Isaiah 61:1-3. This is the passage that Jesus reads from the scroll in the synagogue in Nazareth at the very outset of his mimistry in Luke 4:14-21.Psalm 37 is not explicitly about Jubilee, but it is about the message challenging the Hebrew people to treat others with justice that is woven through out the Hebrew prophets like Isaiah, Amos, and Micah. The song's authors draw on a number of lines in Psalm 37 for the verse's of "Jubilee".
