Speaking of the 23rd Psalm in Germany, Franz Schubert wrote a setting of that pslam in German. Regrettably, it doesn't scan in English.

It's for female quartet with piano accompaniment in the upper register of the piano. It was intended to sound like four angels accompanied by a harp.

I saw it done eight years ago, and it's rather striking. It's something of a standard hymn in the German-speaking world.

Wow....that must be something to listen to. Good Lord’s Day to you and yours, Publius.
