This setting of Psalm 108 was commissioned for the 1995 National Pastoral Music National Convention in Cincinnati. It was composed expressly for Morning Prayer and it is a complete and direct setting of The Grail translation (1993). With its simple and lyrical refrain, MY HEART IS READY, O GOD; MY HEART IS READY, this psalm setting may be used effectively as a prelude, an entrance psalm, and as responsorial psalm, provided it is used in harmony with the liturgical season, feast or occasion. Although this musical setting calls for cantor and SATB, the psalm may be sung by cantor or congregation.
