Stephen Robinson’s setting of Ps 34 has been used frequently at our church, but mostly just the refrain as a response. That’s a pity because the verse is more singable than the chorus with its jump from F to D to scare the groaners like myself. Listen to the snippet from AOV here to get an idea of the light touch that they use for this psalm. Stephen Robinson wrote the Mass for Moderns that we used a lot until very recently. I haven’t seen a revised edition of it about, which is sad.
Refrain
Taste and see, taste and see the goodness of the Lord.
Taste and see, taste and see the goodness of the Lord.
Verse 1
I will bless the Lord, at all times,
His praise always on my lips.
In the Lord my soul shall make its boast.
The humble shall hear and be glad.
Refrain
Verse 2
Revere the Lord, you his saints.
They lack nothing, those who revere him.
Strong lions suffer want and go hungry,
But God’s children have every blesssing.
Refrain
Verse 3
Come, children, listen to my words,
For I will teach you my ways.
You who long for life with many days
Must know how to please the Lord.
Refrain
Verse 4
Keep your tongue from speaking evil things
And let no lies be on your lips.
Turn aside from doing evil deeds.
Do good and seek after my peace.
Refrain
