A psalme before Evening praier "Behold now give heede such as bee, the Lord servants faithfull and true"

John Dowland's setting of Psalm 134 opens with a sense of quiet contemplation, moving from the English translation of the text to its Latin original. The SATB voices are woven together with characteristic Renaissance clarity, creating moments of both homophonic declaration and gentle imitation. The music directly addresses the faithful servants of the Lord, urging them to bless Him in the sanctuaries of His house, particularly during the watches of the night. The text ultimately invokes God as the maker of heaven and earth, a fitting conclusion to a sacred work that balances devotional address with awe at creation. This piece would suit a service or concert looking for contemplative yet uplifting sacred repertoire.
