Gabriel Anthony Doheny’s setting of Ps 33 has a touch of the show tune about it, so I’m not sure it will necessarily work for the assembly. Listen for yourself here to a slice of it.
Refrain
Glorify the Lord with me.
Together let us praise God’s name.
I sought the Lord and he answered me;
from all my terrors I was set free.
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
Look towards God and be radiant;
let your faces not be abashed.
The helpless called; the Lord heard them
and rescued them from their distress.
Refrain
Verse 3
They call and the Lord hears them,
and rescues them in their distress.
The Lord is close to the broken hearted;
whose spirit is crushed, he will save.
Refrain
