Anglican Chant: Psalm 102 (Domine, exaudi) - Choir of Ely Cathedral

The Choir of Ely Cathedral, under the direction of David Price & Paul Trepte, sing the hundredth and second Psalm to an Anglican chant for choir and organ. A sorrowful complaint of great afflictions. (1-11) Encouragement by expecting the performances of God's promises to his church. (12-22) The unchangeableness of God. (23-28)
Text:
Psalm 102. Domine, exaudi
HEAR my prayer, O Lord : and let my crying come unto thee.
2. Hide not thy face from me in the time of my trouble : incline thine ear unto me when I call; O hear me, and that right soon.
3. For my days are consumed away like smoke : and my bones are burnt up as it were a firebrand.
4. My heart is smitten down, and withered liked grass : so that I forget to eat my bread.
5. For the voice of my groaning : my bones will scarce cleave to my flesh.
6. I am become like a pelican in the wilderness : and like an owl that is in the desert.
7. I have watched, and am even as it were a sparrow : that sitteth alone upon the house-top.
8. Mine enemies revile me all the day long : and they that are mad upon me are sworn together against me.
9. For I have eaten ashes as it were bread : and mingled my drink with weeping;
10. And that because of thine indignation and wrath : for thou hast taken me up, and cast me down.
11. My days are gone like a shadow : and I am withered like grass.
12. But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever : and thy remembrance throughout all generations.
13. Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Sion : for it is time that thou have mercy upon her, yea, the time is come.
14. And why? thy servants think upon her stones : and it pitieth them to see her in the dust.
15. The heathen shall fear thy Name, O Lord : and all the kings of the earth thy majesty;
16. When the Lord shall build up Sion : and when his glory shall appear;
17. When he turneth him unto the prayer of the poor destitute : and despiseth not their desire.
18. This shall be written for those that come after : and the people which shall be born shall praise the Lord.
19. For he hath looked down from his sanctuary : out of the heaven did the Lord behold the earth;
20. That he might hear the mournings of such as are in captivity : and deliver the children appointed unto death;
21. That they may declare the Name of the Lord in Sion : and his worship at Jerusalem;
22. When the people are gathered together : and the kingdoms also, to serve the Lord.
23. He brought down my strength in my journey : and shortened my days.
24. But I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of mine age : as for thy years, they endure throughout all generations.
25. Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth : and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
26. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure : they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
27. And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed : but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
28. The children of thy servants shall continue : and their seed shall stand fast in thy sight.

This music has got something I can't quite put into words...❤️

[@richomin]

The Psalms set to Anglican Chant are a totally unique form of music, one of the great contributions to religious music. This performance is a perfect example of this sacred form, both in its composition and its sensitive rendition. Magnificent.

During Desert Storm I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall and a few us made a trip to Ely Cathedral. I will never forget the incredible sounds of praise and the experience of God's peace in the midst of the "storm". So glad to hear this choir again here. I hope you will post more. Thank you.

+Joe Solomon Ely is a wonderful cathedral, There is no doubting God's presence in that building.

An excellent rendition of Psalm 102 "Domine, Exaudi". Thank you, Choir of Ely Cathedral. As I recollect Mister Paul Treat prepared a beautiful rendition of the carol "People Look East" ...

[@lostatsea775]

All the pictures are of Ely Cathedral.

[@ksj1526]

what is the name and the author of the first double chant and the one at 5:20 respectively?

[@francescoanastasio2021]

I ask help anyone, I think I saw on this or another similar channel another beautiful rendition of a psalm that went “fret not thyself because of the ungodly”, but can’t find it anymore on KZbin. I think it was from the wells cathedral choir. Does anyone know where I can find it?

[@archbishopofconstantinople2904]

sounds a lot like Psalm 37, that's all I know though.
