Psalm setting
The psalms of the Bible have been set to music many times and by numerous composers. Most of the psalms can be found in the Book of Psalms , but there are corresponding texts in other parts of the Tanakh and the New Testament . Often, individual verses also serve the composer as the basis for an entire work.
Psalm settings arranged according to musical epochs
Psalms in Gregorian chant
Psalms in Renaissance Music
- Martin Luther's hymns include some German psalm texts as well as psalm settings: Ps. 12: Oh God from heaven, see it , Ps. 130: Out of deep need I cry to you . Luther's most famous song, A Strong Castle Is Our God, is based on Psalm 46.
- The Reformation Psalms were set in verse by Clément Marot in the 16th century and after his death by Théodore de Bèze ; these 150 psalms of David are called the Geneva Psalter . Claude Goudimel created polyphonic psalm settings for the rather simple melodies, which gave the psalter a strong reception.
- Paschal de l'Estocart (1539–1584) was a reformed church composer of the French Renaissance. Numerous psalm settings go back to him.
- João Lourenço Rebelo's work contains some psalm settings.
Psalms in Baroque Music
- Heinrich Schütz (1585–1672) set numerous psalms to music, in Opus 2 from 1619 (SWV 22-47) 26 Psalms of David , in Opus 5 (SWV 97-256) (1628, rev. 1661) 103 four-part psalms Beckerscher Psalter , in Opus 7 of 1636 (SWV 279-281) Psalms 73,25-26 and 90,10 and in SWV 476 Psalm 24: Domini est terra
- Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750): BWV 69a Praise the Lord, my soul (Psalm 103, verse 2), BWV 136 Explore me, God, and experience my heart (Psalm 139, verse 23), BWV 150 After you, Lord , demand me (Psalm 25, verses 1-2, 4, 6, 15)

Dedicated to His Majesty the King of Bavaria Ludwig II in deep reverence, they emphasize the connection between Christianity and Judaism, which corresponds to the ideas of the composer who tried to combine synagogue music with general musical culture. With the German-language text, they are not directly linked to the traditional use of psalms in the synagogue.

Counting method
The psalms are numbered differently in the Masoretic text and in the Septuagint or Vulgate, and the translations also differ accordingly. Evangelical translations follow the Masoretic text, older Catholic ones follow the Septuagint or Vulgate. For example, both numbers are sometimes found in positions, with the Septuagint count being placed in brackets.
Masoretic text | Septuagint | annotation |
---|---|---|
Ps 1-8 | Ps 1-8 | Count the same |
Ps 9-10 | Ps 9 | LXX counts Pss. 9 and 10 as a psalm |
Ps 11-113 | Ps 10-112 | Hebrew count precedes 1 |
Ps 114-115 | Ps 113 | LXX counts 114 and 115 as one psalm |
Ps 116 | Ps 114-115 | Greek counted as two psalms. Ps 115 begins with verse 10 |
Ps 117-146 | Ps 116-145 | Hebrew count precedes 1 |
Ps 147 | Ps 146-147 | Greek counted as two psalms. Ps 147 begins with verse 12 |
