Product Description
This psalm setting, appropriate for weddings (and on the USCCB approved list of psalms for Catholic weddings) is gentle and song-like in its arrangement for voice and piano. The melody features a lyrical shape for the vocalist while staying within a comfortable range. The accompaniment is simple yet offers bits of countermelody in harmony with the vocal line.
Guitar chords also provided in the score. (The alternate response, "See how the Lord blesses those who fear him" is also available on this site under the publisher "Christy L'Esperance.")
Psalm 128:1-2, 3, 4-5
R. Blessed are those who fear the Lord.
Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
and walk in his ways!
By the labor of your hands you shall eat.
You will be blessed and prosper.
R. Blessed are those who fear the Lord.
Your wife like a fruitful vine
in the heart of your house;
Your children like shoots of the olive.
around your table.
R. Blessed are those who fear the Lord.
Indeed thus shall be blessed
the man who fears the Lord.
May the Lord bless you from Zion:
all the days of your life!
May you see your childrens children.
R. Blessed are those who fear the Lord.
