Blessed be the one who sings this anthem.
Beginning with an unassuming quietness, this Psalm setting has spunk. The title alone has a rhythm that demands energy and the chorus delivers with increasing strength. Twice the chorus is interrupted with a serene contrast befitting the remaining scripture text, but each time the response rallies greater than before.
