In the Lord doth my soul rejoice by Mily Balakirev — Lyrics
In the Lord doth my soul rejoice, my soul rejoice in the Lord.
For he hath endued me with the robe of salvation,
And with the garment of joy, hath He clothed me.
In the Lord doth my soul rejoice, my soul rejoice in the Lord.

About In the Lord doth my soul rejoice
Balakirev's setting of In the Lord doth my soul rejoice for SSAATTBB creates a rich and complex texture. The choir is divided into six parts, allowing for intricate interplay between the voices. The music moves with a sense of exultation, reflecting the joyous text. The composer vividly portrays the imagery of salvation and adornment, comparing the soul to a bridegroom crowned and a bride bedecked. The repeated affirmation of rejoicing in the Lord provides a strong, unifying refrain throughout the work, building in intensity and conviction.
