My Soul Is Thirsting for You Psalm 62 (63)

Psalms for All Time by Paul Mason is a great resource for the responsorial psalms but is also a hymn book with uses outside that specific function. We don’t have cantors – we have starting singing Amanda McKenna’s refrains with the verses just spoken – so we would use these as hymns. He suggests it as an Offertory, with Anointing, Funerals and as a seasonal psalm for Ordinary Time.

This is the psalm for the twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time. He repeats the “thirsting for you” in the refrain, otherwise the text is the same as your missal and as set here by Kate Keefe.

It would be nice if the parishes using Mason’s psalms would video them and either post them on YouTube themselves or send them to Liturgical Song so they can post them.

I made two backings because the one at the set tempo of 140 seemed too fussy so I reduced the chords by half for the second one.
