Phil Wickham’s Upcoming Single Inspired By Psalm 8 Draws Movie Interest
Phil Wickham Steps Into King David’s Shoes With New EP ‘Psalm 8 (Hallé)’
Phil Wickham’s Upcoming Single Inspired By Psalm 8 Draws Movie Interest. Phil Wickham says his latest composition is “a blast from front to back”, and the worship world might be about to hear it on the big screen.
The singer-songwriter revealed a stirring new song titled “PSALM 8 (Hallé)” and shared that the team behind the upcoming film David, asked if they could use the track over the movie credits.
“This one is called ‘PSALM 8 (Hallé)’ and it is a blast from front to back🙌🏼! I wrote it inspired by the words of King David in Psalm 8 of the Bible. The DAVID MOVIE people heard it and asked if they could use it for the end credits of the movie! So awesome! Can’t wait for you to hear this one, and even more, I wait to be in the room WITH you guys and SING this one. It has some fire on it! What do you think? Should we release it soon?!” — Phil Wickham.
Built around the soaring poetry of Psalm 8, the new song promises cinematic worship that can work in both sanctuary and theatre. Fans should expect Wickham’s signature melodic lifts and a singable chorus paired with contemplative lyricism that echoes David’s awe at creation and at humanity’s place within it. Early buzz focuses on the track’s ability to give an emotionally resonant finale to David and to linger long after the credits roll.
Wickham’s excitement about performing the song live suggests it was written with people singing together in mind. That mix of cinematic scope and congregational accessibility could make “PSALM 8 (Hallé)” a quick favourite across worship sets and streaming playlists.
The remaining question is whether Wickham will release the single ahead of the film or time the drop to match the movie’s launch. Either way, the movie placement already signals a meaningful moment for the song. For now, listeners have Phil’s invitation: get ready to hear it and be ready to sing along when the time comes.
