Der Prosa-Psalm in d-Moll wird durch eine Art von einstimmig gesungenem Rezitativ eingeleitet, mit einer SATB-Version der Hymne in D-Dur, die pianissimo im Hintergrund zu hören ist. Die Rezitation wird vom Chor in voller Besetz ung fortgesetzt und geht dann in Fis-Moll über. Nach einem Orgelzwischenspiel, das auf St. Anne zurückgeht, nimmt das Psalmodieren an Leidenschaftlichkeit zu. Anschließend wird die Hymne in freien choralen Kontrapunkten zerlegt, bis sie in einem prachtvollen D-Dur-Abschluss ihre Krönung findet.
