Remarks, other info
The text of this choral work is an old translation into English of a now apocryphal psalm taken from the Septuagint (the first Greek translation of the Old Testament). The psalm is to this day a canonized part of the Orthodox and the Coptic Bibles, and indeed the Hebrew original was found among the Dead Sea Scrolls.
