And it isn’t just the music, beautiful as it is, it’s the exquisite translation of the Psalter by Miles Coverdale. Mellifluous prose fitted to stunning music is a match made in heaven.
I know this comment is a year old, but have you considered visiting a local Episcopal church? Not all will have proper Anglican music, but many do. Mine does. Singing in the choir is the greatest thing ever!
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name..... "Music (like this) cleanses the understanding; inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself." ~ Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887) ~
Thy shall stretch forth thy hand upon the furiousness of thine enemies! That's got to be the mother of all crescendos... I think I lissen to this ever day. GLORY BE TO THE FATHER!
I believe it is a double chant in D by Henry George Ley (1887-1962), MA, DMus (Oxon), HonFRCO; Organist of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, 1909-26; University Choragus, Oxford, 1923-26; Precentor of Eton College, 1926-45. Thanks to John Scott for his New St Paul's Cathedral Psalter and its indexes and information.
Psalm 138. Confitebor tibi I WILL give thanks unto thee, O Lord, with my whole heart : even before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. 2. I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy Name, because of thy loving-kindness and truth : for thou hast magnified thy Name and thy word above all things. 3. When I called upon thee, thou heardest me : and enduedst my soul with much strength. 4. All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O Lord : for they have heard the words of thy mouth. 5. Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord : that great is the glory of the Lord. 6. For though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly : as for the proud, he beholdeth them afar off. 7. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, yet shalt thou refresh me : thou shalt stretch forth thy hand upon the furiousness of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. 8. The lord shall make good his loving-kindness toward me : yea, thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever; despise not then the works of thine own hands.
It is great to serve the Lord and to worship in His holy temple. A wonderful chant and I say well done choir. May God continue to bless your voices and your ministry. Thanks for uploading, Philipstopford.
NO one is quite as good as an english chorister and this psalm I say would reinforce this ! pure magic james O'Donald a very committed choir master well done and thank you for the pleasure of sharing

@discaleatorum Look up in the Psalter found in the Book of Common Prayer. The translation of the psalms used in CofE and other Anglican churches is typically the Coverdale translation of 1535. It is similiar to the KJV, but slightly different word choices here and there.
It is not just one of the great glories of the English Church -- it is one of the glories of all of Christendom. I say that as an Eastern Orthodox Christian who loves the services of my own Church more than anything. But I regularly pull out my recordings of Anglican choirs chanting the Coverdale, listen, and am moved...
It doesn't matter who does it, as long as it's done in the Anglican choral tradition. There are great voices all over the world, here in the good ole US of A the choirs do it just as well. In fact, quite a few of the organists from St. Paul's in London are now resident in a few churches in NYC.
I've read Psalm 138 in the bible but the some words used in the song are different. i really love listening to this psalm...i wish i could have their lyrics. sigh
Congratulations to the Bishop of Durham on his election as 105th successor to St Augustine, appointed to See of Canturbury by Pope Gregory I. Semper Fides!!!!

No he doesn't - he looks at the entire man or woman. I am not a heart, I am a thinking, seeing, hearing, feeling person. A heart is just an organ, and feelings are just feelings. A rock concert does not belong in a holy place. Keep your heart.
As an American and a Methodist every time I come to London, I love to go and experience the Anglican services. It makes my heart soar.
Amen!!!

Angelical ! Celestial! WONDERFUL!
The performance of this singing group is superb. It is Perhaps the best on planet earth.
Fantastic and thrilling.
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.....

Indeed, how true it is
Another great Anthem / Psalm sung magnificently by this great choir. It does not get any better than that.
God is more than heart can never ever imagine, praise ever be His Holy Name Amen and Amen
Thy shall stretch forth thy hand upon the furiousness of thine enemies! That's got to be the mother of all crescendos... I think I lissen to this ever day. GLORY BE TO THE FATHER!
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Today (July 28, Pentecost 10), this was our Psalm of the Day.
Magnifico!
A wonderful chant, I love singing this one. The Anglican Church should do far more to preserve their great choral tradition.
Absolutely beautiful singing well done to all
Exacly my sentiments. It just doesn't get much better than this.
beautiful......Amen

Breathtaking!!
Yes indeed! God is our hope and strength. Hallelujah! He is worthy to be praised.
Ah, splendid; a good bit of Anglican Chant. Bloody good organ accompaniment too - I need to get to a cathedral evensong again before too long.
Pure scripture sung very beautifully - the Glory of God
A crisp and memorable rendition as good as any I've heard.
Masterfully sung, indeed!
Absolutely beautiful; truly inspiring... glorious and uplifting. :)
We read this Psalm today in church. 😀 11/20/2022
Wonderful
Beautiful. Thanks lots for this. ❤️
Absolutly perfect

The psalms are always sung according to the text of the Book of Common Prayer.
Forever and ever, amen!

Surely Anglican Chant is one of the great glories of the English Church.

@@kyomademon453 Christendom is a cultural concept, and Anglican chant is part of that cultural heritage.
Without any doubt whatsoever.
Magnificent
Awesomeness. Would love to see the musical script for this tune.
I think it might be in the Hymnal 1982. Understand that what you get is the tune, and you have to fit it to the text you're using.
Thank you for posting.

MARANATA!!
Thank you for this video!
I've read Psalm 138 in the bible but the some words used in the song are different. i really love listening to this psalm...i wish i could have their lyrics. sigh
@ discaleatorum
The Cathedral setting of the words is as printed in the Cathedral Psalter
Superb!
Awesome!
Please can someone help me with this chant....
Please what is the name of this chant and where can I get it? It's superb.
Congratulations to the Bishop of Durham on his election as 105th successor to St Augustine, appointed to See of Canturbury by Pope Gregory I. Semper Fides!!!!
Yes... jk LOL!
We had an American choir singing at St Pauls Cathedral and they sung wonderfully for the feast of Pentecost.
Completely spoiled by the raucous introit noise, obviously inserted by You Tube to discredit the music of the abbey. Does anyone know of another source online other than You Tube?
Does anyone know which chant melody this is? Who the composer is?
what ncp chant was used to perform this?
I would love to know whom the organist is.
Chant name please
guys what is the name of the chant?
Hello! Anybody know what chant?
It is a double chant in D by Henry George Ley (1887-1962), MA, DMus (Oxon), HonFRCO; Organist of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, 1909-26; University Choragus, Oxford, 1923-26; Precentor of Eton College, 1926-45.
Satan's emissary in the heart of the sanctuary
@Nicholas Hodgkinson view The Pope. Satan's actuary on earth.
With respect, only the English can do this. We've been doing this for hundreds of years. You can't buy time.
two satan worshipers have disliked this awesome video.
No he doesn't - he looks at the entire man or woman. I am not a heart, I am a thinking, seeing, hearing, feeling person. A heart is just an organ, and feelings are just feelings. A rock concert does not belong in a holy place. Keep your heart.
@Musicolette : Nothing but self-deification ; the Greek way but no Greek mythological heaven or paradise. The Pit. Those that go down to the ... .
Wear you heart on your sleeve? What! The same place you wipe your nose? I think not.
So... We are supposed to tell thousands (maybe millions) of Americans with music degrees that they have the psalmody all wrong? Get outta here.
soooooooooo dull and unmusical, google the psalm and you'll find the chant, it's a common collab!
you are an idiot
Magnifico!
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Today (August 24, Pentecost 11), this was our Psalm of the Day.
What Bible translation are they using?
