About 40 years ago I heard a tune to Mizmor LDovid Hashem Roi lo echsor (Tehillim 23) sung at Sholosh Seudos at Camp Ohr Shrage and then with Rabbi Wolfson at Camp Torah Vodaas. It is a slow moving niggun - one of the most beautiful niggunim I have ever heard. Every Shabbos I sing part of it, as I don't remember it completely, and promise my family that someday I will find someone who knows this niggun and will be willing to sing it to me so I could learn it.

Do you know which nigun I am referring to and would you be able to somehow get it to me i.e. record it on your phone and PM it to me or some other way?

I would greatly appreciate it and my wife and children would appreciate it even more.

Maybe record part of it so we can try to recognize it

Maybe you are referring to the bobov mizmor leduvid, it's beautiful, I'm on mobile so can't search, try to find it on youtube

That's it. Thank you all so much. I'll try to locate Benzion Shenker's album where he sings this song.

The album he sings it in is (מדור לדור (א.

There's also a stunning version done by Yitzchak Meir Helfgot and Itzhak Perlman in Eternal Echoes.

ETA: Added links.

I don't think that the Moditz version is what they sing in Eternal Echoes.

Both songs I linked to are the same Benzion Shenker song, and both are Moditz.

He sings a different Mizmor L'Dovid in מבשר טוב, maybe that's the one you mean.

There are 2 Mizmor ledovids here. bentzion Shenker is the classic one that helfgot sins with perlman.
Can someone please wikify all the mizmor ledovids. I'm confused.

My father was in Torah vdass in those days. He used to record everything. Those were beautiful farbrengens with R' Wolfson. I haven't found anything quite like that nowadays.
