Psalm 104; 24, 27, 31
Lord, how many are your works!
With wisdom you have created them.
The earth is full of your creatures.
They all wait for you,
that you feed them at the right time.
If you give them, they will gather,
If you open your hand, they will be filled.
Eternal would be the glory of the Lord;
Let the Lord rejoice in his works.
The individual sections of this motet are each developed from the unison and lead to different cadential formulations.
Bertold Hummel
