I was reminded by a friend today of a wonderful choral setting of Psalm 34:8, one of my favorite verses. Vaughan Williams' composition for the verse was first performed at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
Ralph Vaughan Williams, O Taste and See:
I also very much like the earlier setting by John Goss [1800-1880], which I know from this CD, Ave Verum: Favourite Parish Anthems. I haven't found a completely satisfactory recording of that one online. This terminates early but gives an almost complete performance: http://www.esoc-chorus.de/sound/tasteandsee.mp3
