  Lassus' and Josquin's Paintings of Psalm 51
In his preface to Lassus' Penitential Psalms, Berquist writes that Lassus was probably the first composer to set the Penitential Psalms to music as a coherent group.
Psalm 51 traditionally is used for funeral services, and also "occurs liturgically on each of the three days before Easter" (Hillier 5).
It seems obvious that the composer must have considered the first line of this psalm to be of incredible importance, in and of itself and in relation to the rest of the text, for he refuses to continue on to any verse without reinvoking it.

In the Preface to the A-R edition of Orlando di Lassus's Penitential Psalms and Laudate Dominum de Caelis, Peter Bergquist states that the Laudate Dominum must be considered a part of the cycle of Penitential Psalms.
According to Bergquist, in the Christian Liturgy in the sixteenth century, the penitential psalms were prayed as a part of the rites of penance especially during Lent and on Fridays (Bergquist vii).
In all the Penitential Psalms except the second in Lassus's setting, the opening verse is always an invocation to God to hear or have mercy on the speaker, who is always an individual.

 Patterns for Life: Structure, Genre, and Theology in Psalms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Since the Psalms, the Psalter, is a collection of prayers of the community of Faith, it is not at all surprising that we should find such structure, repetition, and conventional methods of expression in them.
While there is contact in some psalms with the cultural idea that sickness or tragedy is the result of sin in the life of a person or the community, most laments do not approach the crisis from the perspective of sin.
Poems of the Law, which includes the lengthy Psalm 119, are simply psalms that reflect on the value of living life by the instructions of God preserved in the torah.

This Psalm, as a penitential psalm, and with its emphasis upon the reality of forgiveness, is especially appropriate for our study since we are partaking of the Lord’s Supper.
Psalm 130 is in the Fifth book of the Psalter that is comprised of psalms 107-150.
This book is includes three great collections of psalms: 113-118 called "The Egyptian Hallel" which were sung at Jewish religious festivals like the Passover; 120-134 called "The Great Hallel" or "Songs of Ascent" or songs of pilgrimage to the Temple; 145-150 which are a concluding praise collection for the entire Psalter.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Rhymed Bibles
The oldest English rhymed psalter is a pre-Reformation translation of the Vulgate psalms, generally assigned to the reign of Henry II and still preserved in Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.
The Seven Penitential Psalms were translated by very many; William Hunnis (1583) entitles his translation, with quaint Elizabethan conceit, "Seven Sobs of a Sorrowful Soul for Sinne".
The Psalm Books of the various Protestant churches are mostly rhyming versions and are numerous: New England Psalm Book (Boston, 1773); Psalm Book of the Reformed Dutch Church in North America (New York, 1792); The Bay Psalm Book (Cambridge, 1640).

After fasting, the psalms were the preferred method of satisfying penitential tariffs; the mathematical conception explains the monastic practice of the laus perennis.
Monks recited a certain number of psalms in order to pray for the dead, an obligation to which they were held through the contract of the rotulus, the scroll in which the names of the dead were enrolled.
The contents of these books were generally: Calendar, Office of the BVM, Office of the Dead, Seven Penitential Psalms, Gradual Psalms, Litany of the Saints, other prayers and devotions, other offices on particular themes (e.g., the Cross, Holy Spirit, John the Baptizer, etc.).

The Litany follows directly upon the Penitential Psalms, and usually has no illustrations, although the rare exceptions include images of favorite saints.
The Office of the Dead was recited by lay people as a way of praying for the souls of the departed, and for remaining penitent and well-prepared for death.
It was also recited in the presence of death, for it begins in the evening hour of Vespers so that it may be read over the coffin throughout the vigil that precedes burial.

 Lassus: Penitential Psalms
This skill comes to the fore in these setting of the seven Penitential Psalms, texts which held an important place in the liturgy during the Church's build-up to Easter.
Each Psalm takes its 'mode' (or 'tonality') from one of the sequence of eight 'modes' by which plainchant had come to be categorized.
Although having absolutely no liturgical link with the Penitential Psalms, Lassus published all eight works together, perhaps exactly because they are so different in mood.
