![]() ![]() Psalm 143: The Psalm “Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God” I also recognized instantly when I read it! It’s listed with a lot of old Catholic prayers (traditionally called “ejaculations”, but in dire need of a new term. Psalm 51: When I was reading the book of Psalms to find the ones most Catholics are familiar with, I instantly recognized this one! This is what the priest says when he washes his hands up on the altar. So I included it. There are also a few Psalms I included not because I knew them from Catholic songs, but because I knew them from other places: There were a few more Psalms I wanted to post songs for, but YouTube just didn’t have everything. Psalm 84: I hope that some of you share my love for modern Christian music, because here comes another one! ![]() Psalm 103: Again, my love for Christian music influences the cards! □ There was also a great song we with this same Psalm with used to sing in Mass at Franciscan University in Steubenville, but I couldn’t find it on YouTube. Psalm 34: This one has a lot of variation, but the song I chose below was very familiar to me. ![]() Psalm 91: I love this “Blest Be The Lord” song! Fyi- but this Psalm is also in the “Eagle’s Wings” song. Psalm 27: Again, your kids are probably going to recognize this, which is totally the point.

Psalm 22: A Psalm that pretty much every Catholic with ears is going to know. Psalm 34: The refrain on this song is “The Lord hears the cry of the poor, blessed be the Lord.” My kids love this song, which is why it’s included here. Psalm 103: Yes, I listen to the Christian radio station on Pandora all the time. You may actually want to open a Bible to Psalm 23 while you listen to this song- it has pretty much all of it. I actually have 2 cards for this Psalm, and both are in the song below. Psalm 23: This is probably the most famous Psalm of all. They were like “I remember that!” and “Ooh! I know that one, Mom!” so for those of you who may not sing, I matched all the Psalm cards to the corresponding song on YouTube. All of the Psalms on these cards are taken from the RSV version of the Catholic Bible. My kids were really excited when I sung the songs that matched the Psalm cards. Some people have very strong opinions about what kind of music does and doesn’t belong in Mass, but I want you to keep in mind that just because you think a certain song or instrument doesn’t belong in Mass doesn’t mean it’s “bad”- it may very well be a great song for other occasions.Keep that in mind before using resources from elsewhere. Catholics and protestants number the Psalms differently, which is why I came out with this set of Scripture memory cards from Psalms especially for Catholics.Remember the Scripture memory cards from our prayers and the Mass? They originally cost $1 to download, but now, they’re also available on the subscribers bonus page for free! These sets are the same size and similar style, so they all go together.Ī few things for grown-ups to keep in mind: If you want to punch holes and have them on a ring, laminating them first will make them extra durable. If you’re using them in a Scripture memory box, cardstock is just fine.I suggest printing them onto cardstock.You could also use them in a Scripture memory box like this one. The Psalm cards all have space in the top left corner to allow punching holes just in case you want to put them on a ring. If you don’t want to wait and you’d rather just purchase this download for $1, wish granted. That way, you’ll always be updated when I come out with a new craft or printable!
