first single from Adullam
Hideaway
A Psalm 57 song for anxious rooms, quiet prayer, and the shelter of mercy.
Son of Jesse turns the Psalms into stripped-down acoustic songs: nylon-string guitar, ancient lyre, unforced voice, and words made for refuge.

Hideaway / Psalm 57
beneath the shadow of Your wings.
The first song from Adullam begins in the cave: a low, unhurried prayer for mercy when the noise will not let the soul rest. English verses carry the lament; the Hebrew refrain becomes the anchor: Chaneni Elohim.

Questions
words for refuge.
Short answers shaped for prayer and listening — especially the Hebrew phrases that appear inside the songs.
- Who is Son of Jesse?
- Son of Jesse is David Courts' meditative acoustic folk project, built around Psalm settings for prayer, sleep, focus, and anxious hearts that need quiet refuge.
- What is Adullam about?
- Adullam is a five-song refuge EP shaped by the cave Psalms: mercy for the overwhelmed, songs for sleepless nights, and stillness before God.
- What Psalm songs are good for prayer or sleep?
- Hideaway (Psalm 57), Watches of the Night (Psalm 63), and Selah (Psalm 46) are arranged as slow acoustic Psalm songs for prayer, sleep, focus, and rest.
- What does "Chaneni Elohim" mean?
- "Chaneni Elohim" (חָנֵּנִי אֱלֹהִים) means "Be merciful to me, O God." In Hideaway (Psalm 57), the Hebrew refrain becomes a steady, repeated prayer for mercy.
- What is a kinnor?
- A kinnor is an ancient lyre, a small harp-like instrument. On Adullam, some songs are arranged for gut-string kinnor to keep the sound sparse, acoustic, and prayerful.
- Why is the EP called Adullam?
- Adullam is named after the cave where David hid and poured out Psalms as prayers. The EP is built as a five-song refuge: acoustic Scripture for stillness, anxiety, and rest.
- What does "Attah machsi" mean?
- "Attah machsi" (אַתָּה מַחְסִי) means "You are my refuge." In I Cry Aloud (Psalm 142), the phrase becomes a simple repeated confession when no human refuge is left.
- What does "Harp'u ud'u" mean?
- "Harp'u ud'u" (הַרְפּוּ וּדְעוּ) means "Be still and know." In Selah (Psalm 46), the fuller line is "Be still and know that I am God," sung as a closing prayer of trust and rest.
- Where can I listen to Son of Jesse?
- Son of Jesse has official public pages on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and YouTube Music, with the official site and Vox Petra profile serving as first-party release references.
