Psalm 144 • Blessèd be the Lord, my Rock! (Benedictus dominus deus meus)

Here is a very simple setting of Psalm 144, “Blessèd be the Lord, my Rock!” as set to the melody of “Benedictus dominus deus meus” (“Blessed be the Lord, my God”) as found in an Antiphonarium Benedictum dated to 1400ad. This is a great entry-level chant-psalm setting, fit for congregations that would find some of James’s more florid settings too difficult or masses with school children.
