Sung Psalms for Catholic Weddings

As a wedding singer, I know the full torment experienced by a bride when she realizes she has to choose a psalm to be sung at her wedding! Psalms have a reputation as being a teensy bit scary with the whole valley of death connotations attached to them! I mean no disrespect, I've taken too much pleasure in performing so many beautiful traditional hymns and psalms to ever do so!
But wedding music is there to elevate an already amazing event, to an atmosphere where the edges are softened, and it's alright for everyone to shed a tear!  ;)
Anyway, below are some examples of psalms which are perfect to be sung at Catholic weddings.



So Longs My Soul*

Based on Psalm 42:1


I usually perform this song with a simple guitar accompaniment. I would also usually
perform the first and last verses.You can find the lyrics here
