You Are My Delightful Garden by Fr. Tadros Y. Malaty

A friend first introduced me to this version of the psalm in 2019, and I've loved it ever since. While I'm not confident the origins of this version (I believe it may be Russian Orthodox?), it's best sung as a group. 

An ison (or a sustained note) is usually held at the end of the chorus, while a reader speaks the first verse. Following the verse, the chorus is sung again, the choir sustains the ison, and the second verse is read. And so on and so forth.

The Man of God

Fr. Gabriel Abdelsayed of St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church, Jersey City New Jersey. Fr. Gabriel of blessed memory was the first priest ordained for the first church in the United States of America. 

We are in debt to these blessed and holy fathers for the tireless planting of seeds which they planted in the lands of immigration. 
Through their prayers which they never cease to offer on our behalf, may God continue to give the increase 100 fold.

May the memory, life, and teachings of this holy father never be forgotten.

“The memory of the righteous is blessed..” Proverbs 10:7

May we forever preserve the authentic spirit and teachings of these fathers.
