Second, unusually, I have asked choirs (where possible) to sing this without any breaks, via staggered breathing, as I wanted to highlight The deep conviction underlying The words of The Psalm, as one single thread of deep belief that moves from beginning to end.
Sincere thanks to MatThew Curtis (choraltracks.com) for recording "Psalm 23."
