- Edition notes: Seeing that there was not an SATB version of this piece in the public domain, I prepared this one. It is a very rough edition based on the organ reduction in the Frank van Nimwegen (SSAATB) version already on CPDL. This edition is in C Major and has some rhythms simplified, for the sake of singability. I hope others who have the time will come along and build on this/correct some of the errors.

English text
Sing joyfully to God our strength; sing loud unto the God of Jacob!
Take the song, bring forth the timbrel, the pleasant harp, and the viol.
Blow the trumpet in the new moon, even in the time appointed, and at our feast day.
For this is a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
