So far we've listened to the downcast, homeless nostalgia of "Genesis 3:23" and the totally devastating "Matthew 25:21." Out there spreading more verses, John Darnielle just performed the more upbeat, apocalyptic "Psalms 40:2" on The Colbert Report. (The accompanying Bible passage: "He lifted me out of the slimy pit, / out of the mud and mire; / he set my feet on a rock / and gave me a firm place to stand.")
