A reflective and heartfelt setting of the responsorial psalm “Lord, On the Day I Called for Help,” based on Psalm 138. Written in a warm and flowing lyrical style, this piece expresses confidence in God’s faithfulness, mercy, and saving power.
The music is crafted to support the natural prayerfulness of the text while remaining accessible for parish choirs, cantors, and worship communities of all sizes. Drawing from the psalmist’s cry for help and thanksgiving for God’s answer, this setting emphasizes trust, gratitude, and the assurance that the Lord strengthens those who call upon Him.
Its meditative character makes it especially effective for Ordinary Time, prayer services, and liturgies centered on hope, perseverance, and divine guidance. A beautiful and practical Psalm 138 setting that brings both emotional depth and singable simplicity to the liturgy.
As a music director/organist, I am always looking for additional sources for new, old, and forgotten hymns and other music. This resource would also be an excellent way to broaden my view of hymnody through history, hymnals, composers, sources, etc. I look forward to new discoveries!

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.
