Where the songs go in Nahum
The 8 songs here set 3 of the 4 movements in Nahum to music: “Slow to Anger, and Great in Power” (Nahum 1), “The Chariots Rage in the Streets” (Nahum 2) and “Woe to the Bloody City” (Nahum 3:1–11). Others take the book as a whole.
Slow to Anger, and Great in Power (Nahum 1). The book opens by insisting on two things at once about the same God.
The Chariots Rage in the Streets (Nahum 2). The siege is written as if watched from a rooftop.
Woe to the Bloody City (Nahum 3:1–11). The charge is not that Nineveh was strong but what it did with being strong: a city full of lies and robbery, selling nations.
Not in song here yet: “Thy Shepherds Slumber”.
