Psalm 104 - Praise the Lord, o My Soul - Lincoln - Anglican Cathedral

Denomination: Church of England (Anglican Episcopal Church)
Province: Canterbury
Diocese: Lincoln
Diocese created in 1072
Bishop: The Rt Revd Dr John Saxbee
Dean: The Very Revd Canon Philip Buckler
Precentor: The Revd Canon Gavin Kirk
Lincoln Cathedral of Lincoln, is a historic Anglican cathedral in Lincoln in England and seat of the Diocese of Lincoln in the Church of England. It was reputedly the tallest building in the world for nearly a quarter of a millennium (13001549), though this height has been questioned. It is highly regarded by architectural scholars; the eminent Victorian writer John Ruskin declared, "I have always held... that the cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedrals we have."

Psalm 104 1 Praise the Lord, O my soul * O Lord my God, thou art become exceeding glorious; thou art clothed with majesty and honour. 2 Thou deckest thyself with light as it were with a garment * and spreadest out the heavens like a curtain. 3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters * and maketh the clouds his chariot, and walketh upon the wings of the wind. 4 He maketh his angels spirits * and his ministers a flaming fire. 5 He laid the foundations of the earth * that it never should move at any time. 6 Thou coveredst it with the deep like as with a garment * the waters stand in the hills. 7 At thy rebuke they flee * at the voice of thy thunder they are afraid. 8 They go up as high as the hills, and down to the valleys beneath * even unto the place which thou hast appointed for them. 9 Thou hast set them their bounds which they shall not pass * neither turn again to cover the earth. 10 He sendeth the springs into the rivers * which run among the hills. 11 All beasts of the field drink thereof * and the wild asses quench their thirst. 12 Beside them shall the fowls of the air have their habitation * and sing among the branches. 13 He watereth the hills from above * the earth is filled with the fruit of thy works. 14 He bringeth forth grass for the cattle * and green herb for the service of men; 15 That he may bring food out of the earth, and wine that maketh glad the heart of man * and oil to make him a cheerful countenance, and bread to strengthen man’s heart. 16 The trees of the Lord also are full of sap * even the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted; 17 Wherein the birds make their nests * and the fir-trees are a dwelling for the stork. 18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats * and so are the stony rocks for the conies. 19 He appointed the moon for certain seasons * and the sun knoweth his going down. 20 Thou makest darkness that it may be night * wherein all the beasts of the forest do move. 21 The lions roaring after their prey * do seek their meat from God. 22 The sun ariseth, and they get them away together * and lay them down in their dens. 23 Man goeth forth to his work, and to his labour * until the evening. 24 O Lord, how manifold are thy works * in wisdom hast thou made them all; the earth is full of thy riches. 25 So is the great and wide sea also * wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. 26 There go the ships, and there is that Leviathan * whom thou hast made to take his pastime therein. 27 These wait all upon thee * that thou mayest give them meat in due season. 28 When thou givest it them they gather it * and when thou openest thy hand they are filled with good. 29 When thou hidest thy face they are troubled * when thou takest away their breath they die, and are turned again to their dust. 30 When thou lettest thy breath go forth they shall be made * and thou shalt renew the face of the earth. 31 The glorious Majesty of the Lord shall endure for ever * the Lord shall rejoice in his works. 32 The earth shall tremble at the look of him * if he do but touch the hills, they shall smoke. 33 I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live * I will praise my God while I have my being. 34 And so shall my words please him * my joy shall be in the Lord. 35 As for sinners, they shall be consumed out of the earth, and the ungodly shall come to an end * praise thou the Lord, O my soul, praise the Lord.

PSALM 104. PRAISE the Lord, O my soul : O Lord my God, thou art become exceeding glorious; thou art clothed with majesty and honour. IThou deckest thyself with light as it were with a garment : and spreadest out the heavens like a curtain. Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters : and maketh the clouds his chariot, and walketh upon the wings of the wind. He maketh his angels spirits : and his ministers a flaming fire. He laid the foundations of the earth : that it never should move at any time. Thou coveredst it with the deep like as with a garment : the waters stand in the hills. At thy rebuke they flee : at the voice of thy thunder they are afraid. They go up as high as the hills, and down to the valleys beneath : even unto the place which thou hast appointed for them. Thou hast set them their bounds which they shall not pass : neither turn again to cover the earth. He sendeth the springs into the rivers : which run among the hills. All beasts of the field drink thereof : and the wild asses quench their thirst. Beside them shall the fowls of the air have their habitation : and sing among the branches. He watereth the hills from above : the earth is filled with the fruit of thy works. He bringeth forth grass for the cattle : and green herb for the service of men; That he may bring food out of the earth, and wine that maketh glad the heart of man : and oil to make him a cheerful countenance, and bread to strengthen man's heart. The trees of the Lord also are full of sap : even the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted; Wherein the birds make their nests : and the fir-trees are a dwelling for the stork. The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats : and so are the stony rocks for the conies. He appointed the moon for certain seasons : and the sun knoweth his going down. Thou makest darkness that it may be night : wherein all the beasts of the forest do move. The lions roaring after their prey : do seek their meat from God. The sun ariseth, and they get them away together : and lay them down in their dens. Man goeth forth to his work, and to his labour : until the evening. O Lord, how manifold are thy works : in wisdom hast thou made them all; the earth is full of thy riches. So is the great and wide sea also : wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. There go the ships, and there is that Leviathan: whom thou hast made to take his pastime therein. These wait all upon thee : that thou mayest give them meat in due season. When thou givest it them they gather it : and when thou openest thy hand they are filled with good. When thou hidest thy face they are troubled : when thou takest away their breath they die, and are turned again to their dust. When thou lettest thy breath go forth they shall be made : and thou shalt renew the face of the earth. The glorious majesty of the Lord shall endure for ever : the Lord shall rejoice in his works. The earth shall tremble at the look of him : if he do but touch the hills, they shall smoke. I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live : I will praise my God while I have my being. And so shall my words please him : my joy shall be in the Lord. As for sinners, they shall be consumed out of the earth, and the ungodly shall come to an end : praise thou the Lord, O my soul, praise the Lord.

[@petesmethers1963]

This is definitely a recording from King's College Cambridge from the 70s; part of a 3 volume set of psalms they released by EMI; indeed it was the version I came here looking for. The chant change after verse 23 is inspiring. And to confirm, this is not the 1611 KJV/AV as the psalms were not altered (apart from a few words) when the new 1662 BCP came out; they kept the 1549 version as the choirs had been singing it for over a century and didn't want to change! I remember first listening to it on a cassette tape in the 80s!

[@JDTNYC32]

For the psalms in the 1549 and 1662 BCP, Cranmer used Coverdale's translation, far more beautiful than the KJV/AV.

The Book of Common Prayer of 1662 includes a translation of the Psalms which pre-dates the King James Version of the Bible. They were translated by Miles Coverdale in his Bible of 1535. He later became Bishop of Exeter in 1551.

[@MrEvanston]

Thanks for the bible based historical lesson.

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

You are quite correct, and Coverdale’s version was used in the first Book of Common Prayer of 1549. Coverdale was actually used more widely than just the Psalms, the Te Deum Laudamus for example is also his translation.

104 Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. 2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: 3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: 4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: 5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. 6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. 7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. 8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. 9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. 10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. 11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. 12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. 13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. 14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; 15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart. 16 The trees of the Lord are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; 17 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. 18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies. 19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. 20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. 21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. 22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens. 23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. 24 O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. 25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. 26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. 27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. 28 That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. 29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. 30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. 31 The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works. 32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. 33 I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. 34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord. 35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord.

[@paradiddleday]

@blackmaestro As far as I can determine, the setting for verses 1-23 is by William Crotch (1775-1847) and the rest by William Longhurst (1819-1904). Crotch wrote a number of Anglican chant settings in the 1982 Episcopal Hymnal and appears to have been especially fond of this psalm. Willcocks does a fine job directing this performance--especially see the transition from verse 29 where the creatures (and the music) hush with terror and then come back strongly in 30 with the Spirit's breath.

[@FrBorrom]

If it IS King's, Willcocks will have been playing, NOT conducting.

One of the most beautiful religious content on youtube, no doubt , it is a pity that in Brazil we do not have a church as rich and well structured as the anglican church. The british people are probable very proud for having the anglican church as a state church and somehow have politics rooted in christianity , this is why every country created by them are prosperous today and i guess that their church is what hold them apart from the EU.......i plan to make my vist to the UK some years from now and get the shivers under the roofs of those many cathedrals....that is why one direction is dangerous.....

[@lyucyselkieoizys8411]

"...why every country created by them are prosperous... " - because the white people have brains- inventive, creative and organized. Orderly and hardworking, compassionate. Though ... no self-preservation... Sad to observe self-destruction of the white race.

Lovely stuff!!! Brings me back to those days when I wanted to teach my former church's congregation some of these chants (especially when yours truly wasn't gifted with the good-sized choir & organ ideally needed to pull off this kind of artistic result). I'm very glad the 3rd World is learning these things (from some of the reports on other of these Anglican-chant excerpts on KZbin) as my suspicion is that this heritage may well be very soon lost given how churches are in decline here, sad!

[@robinharris3425]

This is my conclusion. This music does not come from Lincoln Cathedral. I believe it was recorded at King's College Cambridge. The video is a superposition. Those who set all this up should make this clear and give the credit where its is due.

[@FrBorrom]

Sorry, don't buy that. Organ too loud for King's, and it doesn't sound like the organ there anyway. Also, not enough echo. I'll grant you that there was a bit of pronouncing of 'a' as 'e', which King's always did under Wilcox: 'my soul doth MEGNIFY the Lord, etc). Just doesn't add up for me. xxx

[@Meerkat1234]

Robin, you are right. This definitely IS the King's recording (c.1968) (as also rightly observed/commented by Pete Smethers above,) under the directorship of the late great Sir David Willcocks from the trilogy of albums 'The Psalms of David' (EMI). These albums (vol 1 and 2, Sir David Willcocks and vol 3 his successor Sir Philip Ledger) are my treasured 'desert island discs'!, purchased as a young teenager in 1975...vinyl and later as CDs, now on my sd card in the car. The technology changes but the boundless ability of these albums to inspire, move, uplift and/or comfort doesn't. Whilst the video is about Lincoln's beautiful Cathedral, which has its own wonderful choir, I wholly agree your comment that King's College Cambridge choir should be credited for its performance, not least because one might otherwise wrongly presume that it's the Lincoln cathedral choir's performance.

I think you might have read a bit too much into LJBSasha's comment, MSE. Dzirasa. It's just an old term created to categorise countries based on their economical and political standing, the "Third World" simply being one of the three "worlds". It also includes most of South and Central America and the Middle East, as well as a large part of Asia. I think LJBSasha's point was that she's happy to see the Anglican tradition constantly spread around the world, not to be condescending towards anyone.

Although you might argue that Scunthorpe and Grimsby are north of the North/South divide, Lincoln remains the most northerly diocese in the Province of Canterbury. The medieval diocese went as far south as the River Thames. By contrast, the Diocese of Nottingham and Southwell is in the Province of York as it was part of the medieval diocese of York.

Next 1我的靈魂，請你向上主頌讚！上主我的天主，你偉大無限，你以尊貴威嚴作你的衣冠： 2身披光明，好像外氅，展開蒼天，相似棚帳， 3在水上建築你的宮殿，造了雲彩，作你的車輦，駕御着風翼，馳騁直前； 4發出暴風，作你的使團，你以火燄，作你的隨員。 5你奠定大地於基礎之上，你使大地永遠不再動盪； 6以汪洋作氅衣把大地遮蓋，又以大水把群山峻嶺掩埋。 7你一呵叱，大水即逃避，你一鳴雷，大水即驚退。 8峻嶺向上突出，山谷向下沉落，各個都停在你那指定的處所。 9你劃定了界限，都不越過，免得大水再把大地淹沒。 10你使水泉成為溪川，蜿蜒長流於群山間， 11供給各種走獸水喝，使野驢也得以解渴。 12天上飛鳥，在水邊宿臥，在枝葉叢中不斷鳴叫。 13你從高樓宮殿上，灌溉山地，以你出產的果實，飽飫普世； 14你使青草和植物生出，餵養牲畜，為給人服務。又使土地產生出五穀， 15美酒，人飲了舒暢心神，膏油，人用來塗面潤身，麵餅，人吃了增強心神。 16上主的喬木飽餐水澤，黎巴嫩香柏，主手所植。 17鳥類在那裏壘窩築巢，鶴群以樹梢為家安臥。 18高山峻嶺作羚羊的洞府，絕壁岩石作野兔的居處。 19你造有月亮以定節季，太陽自知向西邊沉墜。 20你造了黑暗，便有了夜晚，林中的野獸遂四出狂竄。 21少壯的獅子怒吼覓食，向天主要求食物充饑； 22太陽升起的時候，牠們各自逃避，回到自己的洞穴，安然臥下休息； 23於是人們外出謀生，各去勞動，直到黃昏。 24上主，你的化工，是何其浩繁，全是你以智慧所創辦，你的受造物遍地充滿。 25看，汪洋大海，一望無際，其中水族，不可數計，大小生物，浮游不息。 26在那裏有舟有船，往來航行，還有你造的鱷魚，戲遊其中。 27這一切生物都瞻仰着你，希望你按時給牠們飲食。 28你一賜給牠們，牠們便會收集，你一伸你的手，牠們便得飽食。 29你若隱藏你的面容，牠們便要恐懼，你若停止牠們呼吸，牠們就要死去，就再回到牠們所由出的灰土裏去。 30你一噓氣萬物創成，你使地面，更新復興。 31願上主的光榮永世無窮，願上主喜樂自己的化工！ 32他一垂視大地，大地抖顫，他一觸摸群山，群山冒煙。 33只要我活着，我要歌頌上主，只要我存在，我要詠讚上主。 34願我的頌辭使他樂意，我要常在上主內歡喜。 35願罪人由地上滅跡，惡人不再存留人世！我的靈魂，頌讚上主！亞肋路亞。

Well, Lincoln's dubiously appropriated Catholic cathedral. At least its current occupants employ its acoustical properties to splendid effect.

This is so glorious!!! Who composed this setting of the Psalm. Thanks for posting. I've seen plenty of churches with choir stalls in the chancel, but have never seen a choir balcony @ the front of a cathedral-love it! Was a novel idea.

[@paradiddleday]

Which setting is this?

[@Musicatdawn1]

an you provide on You Tube The Tunes as set out in The Anglican Chant Psalter edited by Alec Wyton? It will be a training for me as a new choir director in my Anglican parish church

[@ravijoshua2048]

Who is the composer of this chant? Where can one find the music?

[@contralto25]

Lovely music, well sung. I'm not familiar with this psalm but would love to sing it. Any idea where I can find the sheet music for choir? Is the composer known?

+Rudi Romeri, There are two chant tunes used here. The second one starts at 4:35 with the words "O LORD, how manifold are thy works" and that tune is Longhurst (in D?) which can be found in the US Episcopal hymnal (The Hymnal 1982) as S226, as well as other hymnals in the Anglican Communion. I am still working on identifying the first chant tune.

[@contralto25]

Scooby Labbé Thanks for the info. I'll look it up.

[@loonpond]

Rudi Romeri, The first chant tune is William Crotch and can be found in a (US) Episcopal hymnal. In the Hymnal 1982, the tunes are S186 and S229 (service music found in the front of the hymnal) The second chant is Longford in B♭ Major, S226. Both tunes might also be in the Hymnal 1940. The text is the Coverdale translation of Psalm 104.

[@MikeGreenwood51]

It may or may not be up your street (Of your preference) but Psalm 104 has been likened to the 'Hymn to the Aten'. IE the earlist rays of monotheism in 1300s BC in Egypt. https//kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGS6YoSXZr6co7s

[@clivemarshall7503]

Chant name please

[@NihilNominis]

Crotch in G and Longhurst in C, Double Chants both. Darby Bible, I think.
