Responsorial Psalm 29(30):2,4-6,11-13 for the 3rd Sunday Easter Yr C - I Will Praise You, Lord, You Have Rescued Me
Responsorial Psalm 29(30):2,4-6,11-13
I will praise You, Lord, You have rescued me.
I will praise You, Lord, You have rescued me
and have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
O Lord, You have raised my soul from the dead,
restored me to life from those who sink into the grave.
I will praise You, Lord, You have rescued me.
Sing psalms to the Lord, you who love him,
give thanks to His holy name.
His anger lasts a moment; His favour all through life.
At night there are tears, but joy comes with dawn.
I will praise You, Lord, You have rescued me.
The Lord listened and had pity.
The Lord came to my help.
For me You have changed my mourning into dancing:
O Lord my God, I will thank You for ever.
I think that your setting of psalm 30 is more melodious and easier to sing than the Paul Inwood version I have sung many times in the past (found in many GIA hymnals):
I've written a Mass setting, got it approved by the USCCB, several psalm settings, and a couple years of gospel acclamation verses. Looking for a place to publish my works.
As a Catholic songwriter and singer myself, I want to contribute to the community and receive info on how to promote good Catholic songs to a wide audiences.
I am Catholic and a piano teacher. The Catholic Church has the most beautiful treasury of hymns.
I want my students to study hymns. Also, I want to memorize the words of some of the hymns that are in Latin and having access to the sheet music will help with that. Thank you.
I'm a music director at a Cathedral and a composer. I would love to hear other composers, music, ideas, etc. Additionally, I'd like to share my own music.
I am searching for a hymn sung on line in Canada - when I am confined to home and watch mass. I am a piano player for many years and would like to find the musical score.
I have written and recorded about 70 songs over the last two decades that are posted on my YouTube channel - Ronald St Martin songs. I would like to share them with a larger audience. Thank you and God bless your work Ron St Martin
I am a Catechist that believes that religious song is the prayer of the angels, that lifts the soul. What better way to get a child to feel the present of God's peace
I am a practicing Roman Catholic always trying to increase my faith and holiness. I like Christian music particularly prefer Catholic Christian when I am driving or at home completing tasks.
I have been a minister of music for almost 40 years, and I am, primarily, an ear-trained pianist/composer. I am hoping that, becoming a member, I will be able to find sheet music (mostly, lead sheets, if available), that also contain the guitar chords, as I, typically, see them, and then, improvise, accordingly.
I am a resident organist and singer, also training choirs. I very much would appreciate learning more contemporary music to help integrate a wider and more diverse congregation. Thank you.
Need to replace copyrighted music on my YouTube Rosary channel (https://www.youtube.com/@mryan510) to stop the constant interruptions with ads. Perusing your site affords me with plenty of ad free solutions. I hope to donate to your site when I make my selections.

Better than the Inwood Psalm 30 version
Psalm 30: I Will Praise You, Lord (Inwood) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abG-4ymxruY
The verses in the Inwood setting are especially tortuous to sing.
We need to get your version published by GIA and OCP!
By the way, three settings of Psalm 30 are listed in this "GIA hymnals comparative listing of songs" – https://www.topcatholicsongs.com/gia-hymnals-comparative-listings
