| Summary: | Missiologists have talked about God's missionary heart as concerns Israel versus the missionary mandate given only to the church. This paper suggests how one can hermeneutically perceive “missionary” themes in the Old Testament; but mainly, working on this assumption, it presents explicit expressions of such cross-cultural outreach terminology and texts in the Book of Psalms—which may applicationally (if not interpretationally) be related to the motivations behind New Testament missions. Since the Psalter was the sacred songbook of Israel, to the extent it is applicable to international outreach with divine revelation, it is the music of missions. |
