From All My Terrors The Lord Set Me free

"From All My Terrors The Lord Set Me Free" is a comforting and steadfast Responsorial Psalm setting drawn from the beloved words of Psalm 34. Written specifically for the 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C), the melody carries a deep sense of testimony and deliverance. The response itself is a simple, anchoring declaration of faith that a congregation can easily pick up and sing with conviction.

In the choir loft, this piece offers a straightforward but beautiful four-verse structure. The verses move through familiar, reassuring imagery—blessing the Lord at all times, the angel of the Lord encamping around those who fear Him, and the invitation to "taste and see that the Lord is good." It is the kind of psalm setting that feels deeply personal, reminding both the singers and the assembly of God's rescuing presence in times of distress.
