Psalm For The 19th Sunday in Ordinary time

When the cantor steps up to the ambo on the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B), this setting of Psalm 34 offers a gentle, inviting melody for the congregation to rest in. The refrain, "Taste and see that the Lord is good," is one of the most familiar and comforting lines in the psalter, often echoing through our parishes during Communion or moments of deep thanksgiving.

Arranged by Sixtus Okoro using the well-known "Cry of the Poor" tune, this cantor score provides a clear, flowing line that carries the verses naturally. The text moves from personal praise—"I will bless the Lord at all times"—to a communal call to glorify God together. It is a highly effective piece for a soloist to lead, giving the choir and the faithful a quiet moment to reflect on God's protection and the refuge we find in Him.
