In 1000 years time they will still be saying this is the greatest psalm singing ever.
Agreed
I love this chant. It’s solemn, but yet mellifluous. I listen to it daily for hours at a time. The words come alive with such beautiful tonality and inflection. Well done choir and director. I look forward to many more like this. May The Lord in heaven be continually glorified in song.
I love this Psalm. It brings such comfort and joy in my life that I have to watch it over and over again. Beautifully sang.
Absolutely beautiful.....used for the Queen's lying in state....!!❤
A precious piece of history already. The finest choir of its type in the world in its last stunning days as such, directed then by a genius.
Thank you and all praises to Jesus Christ our Lord and God
I have all the psalms (1 to 150) each at least four versions by various choirs. I sleep with the psalms singing every night and sing them often. Psalm 139 is one of my absolute best. I downloaded The Psalm album by this magnificent choir conducted by Andrew Nethsingha today and can’t get enough of it. There are some new tunes in this album that I have never heard before. This 139 is beautifully performed and kudos to Nethsingha.
It will be wonderful if the lyrics are also shown so that some of us can sing along even if our voices are not exactly as heavenly as St John’s choir.
You are simply blessed, sir
I am fascinated that you have the whole book of Psalms. I wish I can have an album of it, especially from this magnificent choir.
I would give anything to have four Anglican chants of each of the 150 Psalms. Can you offer any advice, please.
WOULD LISTEN TO THIS ALL DAY
God bless these choristers
Well sang ❤this is so peaceful
An utter delight. Psalmody at its best.
the greatest masterpiece of music and spirituality! Greetings from Poland :)
A fitting farewell for the late Sovereign. A touching tribute indeed❤
This is gorgeous 🥰,I love this chant. I always feel happy whenever I see something like this. Awesome
Such amazingly beautiful phrasing and tone. Sublime.
This is so calming. ❤️🩹
Such a heavenly sound
The omitted verses:
' ' '
If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.
Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you?
I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
' ' '
I wonder why they omitted them...
The psalms were written about 2000 years before Christ. This was when the laws of Moses were the yardstick to follow but Christ came with His revolutionary teachings: love your enemies and pray for them. He was against tit for tat. Christians emulate Christ, not Moses.
If you want to pretend like the new testament doesn't exist, maybe you should be Jewish or something instead of Christian.
Probably to save time. It's a lengthy text after all
This is solemn
❤
Heaven on earth
The shivers I had soaking the content in.
spectacular Psalm singing/really looking forward to more!
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Chapter by Chapter / Verse by Verse !!!!!!!

I look forward to seeing you in Indianapolis around my birthday!
This is so good ❤️❤️✌️✌️👌👌
This is my jam ❤
I wish the captions are available.🥺
They should be available now
Beautiful! But They omitted the last verses (19-24) of the Psalm!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Where can I get the sheet music / notation for this? I have done many searches with no success. I would love to play the organ part.
The chant is by Highmore Skeats Jr, and it is available in a number of collections including this one (see p.77): imslp.org/wiki/Cathedral_Chants_(Various) Note: we sing the penultimate note in the tenor as a single Ab, not Bb-Ab as notated in this version)
Thank you very much for taking the trouble to give me this information. The music has been printed and I am happily playing along with you. I have the CD and this is my favourite track and is often played as I drift off to sleep. Thank you for everything!
@@swd-kb9bm You're most welcome: so pleased to hear you are enjoying the recording!
You may enjoy this…
WHAT OF HIGHMORE SKEATS SR?
... nothing to beat the Anglican chant - Diocese of Cape Town
so true
Preserve western culture and the church !!! This is what were protecting.
It's worth protecting. Think about what you destroyed in Africa and weigh our own desire to protect something of this quality. Regardless, I agree with you
the anglican church is theatrics
Pointless without the lyrics.
