This is Paul Mason’s take on the Psalm for the Thirteenth Week in Ordinary Time Year C.
It’s still Psalm 16 and he has kept the same interesting but singable tune and the verses are the same as yesterday’s psalm. I love the detail in the chord choice: D(omit3), Em11, G3m7b5, etc.
The whole collection (Vol 3 of Psalms for All Time) is great value and available at Liturgical Song.
I made a slightly different style of backing this time:
Response
You are my inheritance , O Lord, O Lord.
You are my inheritance.
1 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord.”
O Lord it is you who are my portion and cup;
You yourself who secure my lot.
2 I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel,
Who even at night directs my heart.
I keep the Lord before me always;
with him at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
3 And so, my heart rejoices, my soul is glad;
Even my flesh shall rest in hope.
For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
Not let your holy one see corruption.
4 You will show me the path of life,
The fullness of joy in your presence,
At your right hand, bliss forever.
He has notes for this psalm that give interesting background information on the psalm itself, other uses in the Weekday Lectionary, various blessings and Saints’ Days and the Liturgy of Hours. There is always more than just sheet music in Mason’s books.
