MY HIDING PLACE LORD. PS

"My Hiding Place Lord. PS" is a responsorial psalm setting by Nigerian composer Jude Nnam. Drawing its text from Psalm 32, the song captures the profound relief and peace of a soul that has found forgiveness and refuge in God.

The piece opens with a comforting, polyphonic refrain where the choir declares God as a safe haven and a shield of deliverance. The verses then walk through the psalmist's journey, moving from the heavy burden of unconfessed faults to the liberating joy of acknowledging one's sins before the Lord. The vocal parts hand off the melody naturally, especially in the first verse where the lower voices complete the thought begun by the sopranos.

Choirs typically sing this piece during the Liturgy of the Word as a Responsorial Psalm, particularly when the Sunday readings focus on repentance, God's mercy, and the joy of salvation. Its warm harmonies and expressive entries make it a deeply moving reflection for the congregation.
