About Blessed Are Those Who Fear The Lord

When a couple comes to the altar to exchange their vows, the Liturgy of the Word often turns to Psalm 128 to ask God's blessing on their new home. "Blessed Are Those Who Fear The Lord" is a bright, joyful responsorial psalm setting composed specifically for the Wedding Mass. It carries a lively, rhythmic energy that lifts the congregation's voices in celebration of the newly married couple.

The verses paint a warm picture of a faithful, thriving family, comparing a wife to a fruitful vine and children to olive shoots gathered around the table. Okeke Matthias Chiedozie (Kalemba) gives these ancient words an engaging melody that feels right at home in a Nigerian Catholic wedding. It is a wonderful piece for a choir to lead, inviting everyone present to pray for the couple's peace, prosperity, and a long life together.
