Bring Ehr und Preis dem Herren, SWV 126 by Heinrich Schütz — Lyrics
Psalmus David,in consummatione tabernaculi. Afferte Domino, filii Dei, afferte Domino filios arietum.
Afferte Domino gloriam et honorem; afferte Domino gloriam nomini ejus; adorate Dominum in atrio sancto ejus.
Vox Domini super aquas; Deus majestatis intonuit: Dominus super aquas multas.
Vox Domini in virtute; vox Domini in magnificentia.
Vox Domini confringentis cedros, et confringet Dominus cedros Libani:
et comminuet eas, tamquam vitulum Libani, et dilectus quemadmodum filius unicornium.

About Bring Ehr und Preis dem Herren, SWV 126
Heinrich Schütz’s Bring Ehr und Preis dem Herren, SWV 126, opens with a powerful depiction of God’s might through a vivid interplay of voices. The work sets a dramatic biblical text, drawing from Psalm 29, which speaks of the awesome power of God’s voice, likened to thunder and storms, yet also present in the sanctuary. The SATB setting masterfully captures the grandeur and majesty described in the words, with each voice part contributing to the overall sonic landscape. The text, sung in a mix of Latin and German, calls for awe and reverence, urging listeners to offer glory and honour to the Lord.
