  • Just beautiful!

    

  • I love psalm23.

  • I love this song! and you all sing it so beautifully! I'm not a very religious person but if this is like what is sung in heaven, then I can't wait to go there! Just beautiful! You are very gifted :)

    

  • Donde dos o mas estan reunidos en el nombre de Emmuel Dios esta con nosotros.

  • I love hymns but religion is bollocks

  • Very pretty.

  • man why does one have to be catholic to listen to nice music????? this might have a religious meaning so what. just like the song and shush and

    @squirell1952 mind turning your caps lock off? its kind of disturbing seeing you shout on this page.

  • HOW YOU CAN SPEAK LIKE THAT ... THIS THE HYMN WE SENT MY BROTHER TO REST WITH .... YOU ARE ALL SICK!!!!!!!!

  • @gordsmb how can you be angry? the lord doesn't want you to get angry at other people

  • BEAUTIFUL!!♪

  • JESUS IS ON HIS WAY BACK TO US. He is getting the horses ready, He is spiritually rearming himself for a tough mission. And will WE accept him or reject him a second time? #There will, of course, be the Anti Christ hovering away in the background, trying to muscle in on Jesus' territory. But be prepared. And be brave. If you deny God now, will you deny God in the future?

  • IN THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, WE HAVE SEVERAL HUNDRED SAINTS.

    IN THE HINDU, THEY CALL THEM GODS.

    WHEN THE PRAY TO THE GODS, THEY ARE ASKING THEM TO TALK TO GOD ON OUR BEHALF, AND WE CHRISTIANS DO LIKEWISE WITH OUR FAVOURITE SAINTS.

    BUT THE HINDUS ALSO BELIEVE IN THE HEAD GOD, THE BOSS GOD!

    PICK THEIR BRAINS NEXT TIME YOU MEET ONE OF THEM AND YOU WILL BE TRULY AMAZED AT WHAT YOU (AND THEY) CAN LEARN FROM OTHER PEOPLE WHO ALL HAVE THEIR SPIRITUALITY IN COMMON. THINK ABOUT IT, THEN DO IT! TALK.

  • IF THE NAME ALLAH IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR OUR MUSLIM FELLOW SPIRITUAL HUMANS, SURELY IT IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE REST OF US? COULD WE NOT ALL ADOPT THAT LOVELY NAME? THE MUSLIMS HAVE OVER A HUNDRED NAMES FOR GOD THE FATHER. WHEN THEY PRAY TO HIM, THEY ARE ACTUALLY ON FIRST-NAME-TERMS WITH THE ALMIGHTY! NOW, HOW ABOUT THAT? LOVE FROM A CATHOLIC.

  • WHEN I WAS GROWING UP CATHOLIC HERE IN DUBLIN A FEW DECADES AGO, THIS BEAUTIFUL HYMN WAS NEVER, EVER, SUNG. IT WAS CONSIDERED A ... PROTESTANT HYMN!!! SWEAR TO GOD -A PROTESTANT HYMN!! I WOULDN'T MIND BUT THE TUNE IS A SCOTTISH ONE FROM THE TOWNLAND OF CRIMOND AND THE WORDS ARE ... JEWISH! THE OLD TESTAMENT. NOWADAYS, OF COURSE, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SINGS THIS TUNE A LOT BECAUSE IT REALLY IS BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU, GOD THE FATHER, FOR WELCOMING US INTO HEAVEN. LISTEN AGAIN TO THE LRICS.

  • @joebevins1999 What the heck? Where was your mind at? Lots of luck.

  • Those boys have first class tickets to heaven

  • @ukchristian28 I bet you would hate this video if girls were singing it:) I bet your hand got a pretty good workout after watching this video:)))

  • @joebevins1999

    I thought Charlotte Church was great as well.

  • Comment removed

  • Religious internet trolls. What's new?

  • “God” is an old English word which developed from an Indo-European word, meaning “that which is invoked,” which is also the ancestor of the German word Gott, meaning God. (From The Navigators, a well-known evangelical Christian organization: “…It’s interesting to observe that, in rejecting the Athenian’s erroneous concept of God, Paul did not reject the word they used for God, Theos, which was the common Greek word for God.

    Allah is the primary Arabic word for God.

  • LOL, You said it yet again! I REPEAT, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, si ALSO Allah! They are the same God! Just different names! Allah is the Arabic word for God, and has been so even before Islam came along. The word God was never in the original Hebrew or Greek scripts of the Bible. accepted as Holy by both Christians and Muslims.

  • These are such talented boy's, i hate to think their voices may break soon and they might haver to wait and train their adult voices, i mean there child voice's are fantastic but thats just the crulty of puvity, but im sure when their voices break theeir audlt voice will be better than ever.

    :)

  • This is what I imagine angels sounding like

  • Fantastic, "The Lord is my Shepard; I shall not want"

  • I am not religious, I think no institutional religion has got it right (personal opinion) but even I feel that surely something/someone must be out there... even if this stands in conflict with my being a scientist. I have spent years singing in a religious choir in church and every song we sang touched my heart - in that, I see God (for lack of a better word). Hearing this beautiful music makes me cry - let's just all stop flaming and appreciate the beautiful gift of music these boys give us!

  • That's spending a brief moment in heaven, thanks so much :0)

  • LOLOLOLOL joke's on you, god doesn't exist and Jesus died :P 

  • @pi32010 GOD IS REAL. I SAW HIM.

  • This is an amazing find! "The Lord Is My Shepherd," (theme song of "The Vicar of Dibley") sung by the Choirboys, from their self titled British debut album. Thanks to YouTube's choirboysfans for this blessing of a post! Angelic!

  • The Lord is my shaperd, and these guys make me relaise it even more (L)

  • The meaning of this song is very sinister!

    It's ironic this is telling you to act like sheep, think for yourselves people!

  • It's our destiny to praise God like this, with whatever our talent can best make

  • love you lord

  • awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. they sounds so angelic........

  • i dont usurally like choir music but this is amazing!

  • These are the next generation of soldiers that our great country needs to war in Iraq and Afghanistan. They will kill the enemies with their voices

  • @XBionic1955

    Thats a very disturbing comment...

  • This hymn has a number of version, all beautiful!

  • I love your vid What age are you?

  • @toxzen. Sheep who stray are taken by the wolves. A lone wolf usually goes hungry. Just enjoy the beauty of the music

  • another excellent Psalm 23 video:

    watch?v=HFw5TsAi1Mk&feature=fe­edf

  • You know where the shepherd takes the sheep? To slaughter. No thanks.

  • song is gross and hideous. Should be considered child abuse. Indoctrinating children to teach them "not to think for themselves" but as sheep.

  • @toxzen good name for you, sounds like toxin. Your words do sound pretty poisoning. What kind of stuff do you promote if not this, I dont even want to know

  • what is a sheppards duty? what is the definition of a sheppard? to lead sheep eventually to a slaughter house. think about it...if your allowed.

  • los mejores los del coro ke bien kantan!!!

  • This is just beautiful.

  • amazing,  ;)

  • With respect, the new Choirboys can not be as good as the original one's. Absoloutely brilliant.

  • A lot of kids and teens are scared to get up front and that is the biggest challenge I have found thus far. To get them to conquer their fear.

  • most beautiful hymn ever~

  • No other song/hymn has ever got to me like this does.Cant help crying hearing it..particularly this version.Peace to all x Jay

  • This song always gets to me and i cant help crying when i hear it.No other hymn/song has ever got me the same way.Peace to all x Jay

  • Beautiful, beautiful. My father thanks you, my mother thanks you, I thank you and NAMBLA thanks you.

  • Beautiful. :)

  • @KukolkaG21 couldn't of said it any better myself,,,,it's absolutely beautiful*

  • I love this song.

    Praise the Lord!

  • REAL PROPHET SENT OF GOD, PLEASE BELIEVE ME ,DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT COME AND SEE FOR YOURSELF

    william branham end time prophet spoken of in

  • sherpa sherpa 

  • es mejor libera!!

  • What fabulous word setting and a perfect synthesis of Faure and Folk - a wonderful version I'd never heard before - the boys' voices are lovely, and I usually have an aversion to boy sopranos!

  • I'll take th music and dump the video. Better to produce a clip with honor and glory as within the music and words.

    Someone that has the capasity/skill to produce that Youtube will be greatly rewarded in heaven.

  • so amaing.. :')

  • I dont understand why people have to bang on about religion. This is a very nice piece of music to listen to, why not comment on that?

  • @burrencrawler The text originates from a religious setting. It is a psalm, which is an ancient text.  There are many musical settings for this particular psalm. It chimes renown from television shows, to pop music and tattoos. So I find it inevitable that it would be brought up in conversation here on Youtube as well.

  • I just sang this song today at a church in Singapore for a performance with other schools along with mine, it is magnifique.

  • this is amazing :)

  • I feel ashamed that such beautiful music can be sullied by silly and irrelevant arguments over who is 'right' in their religious beliefs.

    When music such as this is heard, it must surely lift all our souls in the same way. THAT is God. Regardless of what name you wish to place upon him, he is the same.

  • @notgeoffrey The argument of religion should not even be around because the Protestant rifts shouldn't be around, all man made church's/ sects shouldn't be around. Christ left one Church one Shepard. The Catholic Church. When it comes to music it is also the Church who should be credited for it was her who gave us the beauty of western music. If you take a music history course you will begin with Gregorian chant and it won't be secularized till very later on.

  • @priest008

    Isn't the so called "Catholic Church" a man-made sect?

    The only true church is the Body of Christ, which is made up of born-from-above (gr. gennathei anothen) believers.

    If you read 1st and 2nd Timothy as well as Titus you clearly see that it is in CONTRAST with the "catholic church" practices

    1 tim 3:2 "the bishop must be above reproach, the HUSBAND OF ONE WIFE..." (not celibate)

    Matthew 23:11 "The greatest among you will be your servant." (the pope should not even be around)

  • @jnone113

    There is no such thing like the only true and genuine faith.

    There is a war going on now because of that, remember!

    Be happy with yours and preach for your own congregation.

  • @lovemydogsmucho

    I did not even discuss whether there is only one "true and genuine faith".

    I was referring to the Christian church. There's only one: The Body of Christ.

    source: the Bible.

    Although, I do believe that only faith in Jesus will get you saved, I am not about "converting" people. I am about presenting them the "good news" (gospel) and they need to ask God personally to show them the truth.

    The "only true and genuine faith" can only be given BY the "only true and genuine" God.

  • @jnone113 And who is to say that 'God' cannot appear in different guises for different people? The concept of God is a very personal issue, and cannot in my opinion be categorised into books, rituals or prayers of any particular kind. If God can appear as a burning bush, then why not Mohammad, Abraham, Moses, Hecarte or Thor? Jesus himself said that the Bible was not to be interpreted literally, but that it is what is in the heart and soul that makes you a righteous person.

  • @notgeoffrey

    That's exactly my cup of tea.

    Faith is the helping hand pointing the way.

    But the struggle upwards is yours alone.

  • @jnone113

    nice statement...that's true not to convert but to present the gospel :-) I believe in the same way that "only true and genuine faith" can be given by God just like our life we didn't work for it but our life is a gift...nobody ask for it but God freely gave it to us. We didn't work for us to have life but a very precious gift bestowed by the Almighty God :-)

  • @sdlsww

    just like I didn't chose to be born, I didn't chose to be born again (from above).

    All humans try to reach out to God through their own efforts, but fail.

    That's why God Himself reached out to us and humbled Himself before man to put man's wisdom and glory to shame. And those who are willing to humble themselves and repent before God will be lifted up and forgiven.

    For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, (Ephesians 2:8)

  • @jnone113 I believe to be born again is a decision we have to make but because of God's grace it is made crystal clear to decide correctly as what God would want it to be :-)

  • @sdlsww

    Repentance is our choice..

    To become born again is a result of repentance, but even repentance is not 100% from ourselves:

    "God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth"

    2 Timothy 2:25

    "For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death."

    2 Corinthians 7:10

    Still, our part is to seek the Lord and repent.

    “Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near"

    Isaiah 55:6

  • @jnone113 Yup, not 100% because it is by the grace of God :-)

  •  Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.Isaiah 43>10-11.

    About this God is sung in this psalm, and besides Him there is none. is not Allah, not Buddha, Confucius, or any other god.

  • @reverendclaurarau Do you enjoy showing your ignorance? I sure hope you are not a reverend as your screen name suggests, if so you are the dumbest one out there and need to step down! God and Allah are the same! Allah is the God of Abraham! Just as the God in the Holy Bible! That is the sad thing, people like you are just filled with HATE that you are too ignorant to see this, or you don't care, which is even worse! I agree with Notgeoffrey 100%!!!!!

  • well blake02 if you think you wiser than God who spoke these words through the prophet, I prefer to stay with God's words, and believe what He says. It is no other God but Him, and that this God can only approach in the way He has prescribed in the Holy Bible and not by the visions of Mohammed, Confucius or any other founders of religion.

  • @blake02 And remember what Scripture says, the devil changes and an angel of light to deceive even the elect. I'm not saying that Islam has no good things, but it is not the true faith. Real faith is only the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

  • ok what r these guys doing today anyone no

  • the sing beautifully dont they?

  • @TonyRJ1989 l will never never make a mistake of believing that there is no God.l believe in God,l have a lots of testmony to tell,Now l know who are you and what is your mission,what your doing it is also written in the Bible that at the end of days it will happen,So we cristian should be prepared.l dont want to hear anymore from you,dont reply me and stop sending me masseges.Thank you

  • @TonyRJ1989 You sound very upset with God and the bible,l dont understand why?what is your religion.

  • @TonyRJ1989 l hope that you live long that one day you will realise that God does exist, and that the bible is not just the book,but is the book of life.

  • OMG I accedently pressed this and then minimized the window and suddenly this music appered an I tought it was like a messege from God!

  • @HerrWarja I got a good laugh from your comment. I did a similar thing only looking for Choirboys....... the rock band!

  • @MrMal272 HAHAHA! Okayy! :P

  • @TonyRJ1989 I know that it is amazing but that does not change The Truth - that God is real and alive and that Jesus is our Saviour alone.

    God is working in my heart as His child. I am aware of God's leading , guiding and specific care of me since Jesus saved me threee years ago. God blesses everyone. I pray that all people will come to know my Jesus as their own Saviour.

  • @TonyRJ1989 I pray for you. That you will feel the presence of God in your soul and that you will experience some of His abundant love. Then you will know for yourself who we worship and why we worship. God bless you in Jesus' name my dear brother.

  • @TonyRJ1989 We have no free choice, life is just a time until things are fulfilled. You are never free and never will be, we are all slaves of God.

  • WOAH. This is amazing. Ethereal.

  • this is now one of my favorite songs of theirs lol

  • sad noobs

  • Is god willing to prevent evil, but not able?

    then he is omnipotent.

    is he able, but not willing?

    then he is malevolent.

    is he both able, and willing?

    then why comes to us evil

    is he neither able nor willing?

    Then Why Call Him God?

    Atheism... winning since 33 A.D

  • @lolnumpty God is both willing and able but most people don't want his help or don't believe in him at all. As darkness is the absence of light so is evil the absence of God. God has given us free will, if he was to interfere with every evil without all of humankind believing in him and reaching out to him he would be like a tyrant, controlling us like puppets. Evil is all made by man and has nothing to do with God. All who believe will come to heaven if they ask forgiveness from God, everyone.

  • god created the world, that means he made gays murder war and all that stuff, why create that, what created god. god has not given us free will, he is telling us what to do, he tells us to worship him, he killed pagans, because they didnt worship him, they had their own beliefs, formed from the free will god gave them, he killed egyptions, why? for having their own beliefs, if that carrys on, that means everyone that doesnt worship him, or worships another god, is going to hell.

  • @lolnumpty He created us with the potential for a lot of things, that doesn't mean he wants gays, murder or war. He has told us what's right to do but doesn't make us do anything. If you refer to god killing the Egyptians during the time of Moses that wasn't because of their pagan worship but to force the pharaoh to release his people the Jews. I don't think the bible directly mentions that God is ever going to throw someone into hell, but the sinful won't be able to even stand in his presence.

  • @Hefaistos1 You're wrong on several counts. ALL that God created is acceptable in God's sight - it says so in the Bible. That includes gays. All humans, whether gay or straight, are sinful by nature. It's through God's grace that we are able to stand in God's presence. Sinful behavior is what won't last in God's presence.

  • Talented kids! but the manager (or who's ever in charge) should not make them look like some boy band wannabe. They're more than that

  • What a delight to watch & listen

  • We sang this at my choir director's wedding a few years ago.

  • @megzToml1nson simple! you put your foot on the accelerator!!

  • Actually, it's probably more Anglican.

  • I have had the blessing of being a vocalist and voice coach. I was singing solos at the age of 6, and although I found it frightening at first, my love for singing couldn't be abridged. I also followed that love through a degree in music, being a performer and sharing my love of voice with students. It is rare to find those who not only have talent but show such apparent joy in singing. Childhood is blessed by finding and excelling in a God given gift. Parents should encourage and support.

  • LOVE THE HYMMM ! listin to it every day GOD BLESS THESE ANGLES

  • Perfect.....

  • Does anyone know who arranged this version? It was used on "The Vicar of Dibley"?

  • It's not an 'arrangement' but a note-for-note rendition of the choral composition (using the words of psalm 23) by Howard Goodall, the 'resident composer' on the radio station Classic FM. Howard has composed a large amount of music used for TV themes.

  • Well, I think I understand what you mean; anyone who is not a good Roman Catholic is going to hell - is that the message? I think a lot of Roman Catholic priests had better start packing their summer clothes, as I believe it´s rather hot down there!

  • @Eurofrank1

    yes you are right, sadly many priests have given in to bad ways, but the good ones are still out there, and I have had the grace of knowing some great priests in my life... Extra ecclassi nulla salus

  • I really think this is the most beautiful song Ive ever heard.. !

  • And people say that believing in a loving God is "child abuse"???

  • Beautiful.Very, very beautiful melodi, voices, song...!

  • This is one of my favourites, regardless that it is so very religious. It sounds beautiful.

  • omg I just love their voices...that is true talent... it makes me want to cry-thats how beautiful they sound

  • yes , they do have angelic voices.

    I have heard real angels singing, and it is similiar.

    Very beautiful singing.

    Thank you for posting. God bless you.

  • as I age I cry more for those who don't know and for those who will know. God loves you all.

  • Forgive my sins Lord, for I'am a mortal sinner. Father, I wish to be saved and spend eternity in the promising kingdom of Heaven. Cleanse my mind, heart and soul. Help not just me but the homless, the jobless, the hungry, the kind and inocent ones that don't deserve to suffer. HELP US PLEASE! "In the precious name of your son and only son, Jesus Christ, Amen!" Victory over the Devil! AMEN!!! Glory to God.....

  • We are saved through trusting Jesus' perfect sacrifice for us at The cross , which has bough the pardon for each one who comes to Jesus for salvation.

    Jesus won the victory for us at The cross. Hallelujah !

  • Wow, delusional. If you're immortal, you can not really sacrifice your own life...Besides, God is all knowing, he could have just made his new testament his first testament... For that matter, he could have just avoided making evil...

  • i would just like to say that i am atheist, but you are making all of the wrong points, jesus was 100% God and 100% human, therefore death was a possibility. also according to thomas aquinas, there is no evil, just an absence of therefore god did not create evil, he gave us the capacity to be less good.

  • I'm not talking about death being a possibility. I'm saying is it really a sacrifice as a GOD that knows life is not over when your body dies? I mean he existed for an eternity(a trillion trillion trillion years) then assumes the form of human for 30 years and has man kill his physical body as a "perfect sacrifice" to himself? So I was not arguing about the possibility of death, just the logic. Plus I do not believe there is evil or good, just things that are more or less beneficial to myself.

  • @JesusOurSalvation

    Is Jesus the Lord of the Psalms-How do you explain Psalm 91-

    He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say [b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." . . .

    . . . 11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; 12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

  • @JesusOurSalvation i agree and i bless you

  • how comforting to listen to their voices... almost make me cry... Praise to our Lord : )

  • What's wonderful boys. Beautiful voice from heaven. God bless you all.

  • How beautiful to her voices of Angels.

  • Awesome!

  • Beautiful singing...the voices of angels. I am on a search tonight to hear as many song versions of this Psalm as possible. I composed a piano piece based on Psalm 23 an am interested in hearing what others have done with it.

  • this reminds me of the vicar of dibley
