The Lord Is My Shepherd Psalm 22 (23)

Setting this psalm must be daunting, but Paul Mason’s setting from Psalms for All Time is a fine one indeed. It is for the fourth Sunday in Lent Year A.

If you don’t need the whole book, but you do you know, you can buy the individual sheet music for download at Liturgical Song, where you can hear two lovely versions of the psalm and see a list of the masses for which it is suitable.

The text is here at Kate Keefe’s site where she sets the Grail’s four verse version. Mason opts for a three verse version with verse one ending with “he is true to his name,” and verse two ending with,” my cup is overflowing, overflowing.”

    We used this for the Fourth Sunday in Lent and it certainly is a beautiful setting. The longer (05:11) recording on Paul Mason’s website is also particularly incredible!
