Even when King Saul had a demon, sent from God? to torment him, God also sent him the remedy. Only David playing music, on his harp, and singing the Psalms, presumably, soothed his torment.
At the very least you can play some godly Christian music, preferably some psalms put to music, and you will find great relief, just as old King Saul did.
Satan doesn't like godly music, and words, especially so, when they are put together.

I doubt anyone with good musical taste can stand the twanging and caterwauling that is 'godly' music, either. I'll bet Paul played and sang until King Saul paid him to shut up, they just don't mention that part in the bible.
I second Katsuro. That is a good-ass song.
Of course, I don't know about you, but when my soul truly needs relief and to be soothed from torment, this is the song that eases me through me troubled times: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzsRddk_cb0
Your god is a music critic, now?
I thought the Psalms were attributed to Solomon. David wouldn't have known any of them.
I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
And it goes like this, the 4th the 5th
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah...
So that's a song about David and King Saul, right?
Wrong.

"Satan doesn't like godly music, and words, especially so, when they are put together."
Satan and I have more in common than I thought.
"Satan doesn't like godly music, and words, especially so, when they are put together. "
That, may be but, God despises random, commas.
Blasting Dead Kennedy's and having Pagan/Buddhist statues around seems to get rid of the most bothersome demons I have to deal with.
They've even quit coming to my door since I put my Easter Island head on my front stoop. Much less tacky than nailing an Ouija board to my door.
Edit:
@ cool cats
David was screwing Saul's son, so I can see why he'd get a little pissed.
Can't say I blame Satan, here, I mean, he DID get the better music, so why would he stick around for christian music? God really messed up giving Satan all the rock, blues, hip-hop, r&b, jazz, metal, even some old-school country & western and pop, and keeping only the rhythmless, passionless whitebread church music for Himself. But, I'm sure it's all part of "the grand plan", right?
I like a lot of 'Godly' music, from Sister Rosetta Tharpe to Master of reality by Black Sabbath. I have a feeling you're not talking about that kind of honest expression of someone's beliefs though. I have a feeling you're talking about that insincere 'I want to get down on my knees and start pleasing Jesus' bullshit designed to exploit a market that never learned to understand or experience soul and emotion beyond the most superficial Disney esque level. Yeah, you can keep that stuff.
"Even when King Saul had a demon, sent from God? to torment him"
Did God just borrow one of Melkor's balrogs for the purpose?
"Only David playing music, on his harp, and singing the Psalms, presumably, soothed his torment."
Psalms aren't meant to be sung. They are meant to be recited in a high quavering voice, twice as slow as regular speech.
"preferably some psalms put to music"
To everything turn turn turn, there is a season turn turn turn. But the fundies really hate that song because they feel it twists the purpose of scripture to promote (ugh) peace and love. How about : goin' on up to the spirit in the sky, that's where I'm gonna go when I die. Ooops. That's a vulgar one too.
"Satan doesn't like godly music, and words, especially so, when they are put together."
And if you ring the bell and light the candle, you will banish him forever.
That sounds like Wesley Willis, but far less interesting. What would you rather listen to:
1:1 Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand in the way of sinners,
nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
1:2 but his delight is in Yahweh’s law.
On his law he meditates day and night.
or
McDonalds is the place to rock
It is a restaurant where they buy food to eat
It is a good place to listen to the music
People flock here to get down to the rock music
McDonalds will make you fat
They serve Big Macs
They serve Quarter Pounders
They will put pounds on you
For me, it's no contest. Rock over London, rock on Chicago!
Damn, I would have to say godly christian psalm singing and harp music, by whomsoever, would be the torment itself, not the cure.
{{{shudder}}}
Relief? I'd like to have a couple of CDs of that - one to 'relieve' myself on, and one to cover it up with.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
