Does the Bible condone slavery? That depends on what you mean by "condone". Like death, divorce, and polygamy, slavery is available in God's Law as a last-ditch tool for addressing some tough problems.
Slavery also makes a useful analogy when teaching about relationships and debt. See Paul's letters, for example. This doesn't mean that slavery is noble or desirable or that God necessarily wants anyone to be enslaved. Allowed doesn't mean encouraged.

Psalm 101:7, “No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.” David is writing about a threshold covenant, when we enter someone’s home or we visit a city we agree to respect and obey by their rules. More about this when we return, but please be patient as we do have a family obligation to attend for a couple of weeks.
Reusing hymns or Not...
I have realized that there are quite a few hymns which have good messages and can be reworked with modern music to make it easier on modern ears.
I have created a few on https://music.ttn.place/rhybez already and want to find out what your view is about reusing hymns; specifically with modern music.
