Text: Scottish Psalter (1650) Sung by the RPCI Northern Presbytery Choir. (Meter: CM)

 1  The Lord doth reign, and clothed is he
         with majesty most bright;
      His works do show him clothed to be,
         and girt about with might.

      The world is also stablishèd,
         that it cannot depart.
   2  Thy throne is fixed of old, and thou
         from everlasting art.

   3  The floods, O Lord, have lifted up,
         they lifted up their voice;
      The floods have lifted up their waves,
         and made a mighty noise.

   4  But yet the Lord, that is on high,
         is more of might by far
      Than noise of many waters is,
         or great sea-billows are.

   5  Thy testimonies ev'ry one
         in faithfulness excel;
      And holiness for ever, Lord,
         thine house becometh well.

Psalm 93 (Tune: Pembroke)

	PSALM 42		L.M.

	1	As pants the deer for flowing streams,
		So longs my soul, O God, for you.
	2	I thirst for God, the living God;
		When can I meet with God anew?

	4	As I pour out my soul in grief,
		These things I do remember still:
		How with the multitude I went
		Up to God’s house on Zion hill.

		In their procession I would lead
		As we approached with cheerful song
		And shouts of joy and thankfulness,
		Rejoicing with the festive throng.

	5	Why are you downcast, O my soul?
		Why are you so disturbed in me?
		Trust God, for I will praise him yet;
		My Saviour and my God is he.

1. Messe Royale de Versailles – D’après les Manuscrits de la Maison de Bourbon
(Royal Mass of Versailles – From the Manuscripts of the House of Bourbon)

2. Messe Solennelle pour la Chapelle Royale – Inspirée des Archives de la Maison d’Orléans
(Solemn Mass for the Royal Chapel – Inspired by the Archives of the House of Orléans)

Messes Royales de Versailles – Héritage des Manuscrits Secrets des Maisons de Bourbon et d’Orléans réunit deux messes baroques majestueuses, réinventées et complétées par Akiva David à partir de manuscrits historiques jalousement conservés par les lignées princières françaises. Découverts lors d’une rencontre familiale avec des cousins éloignés des Maisons de Bourbon et d’Orléans, ces trésors musicaux proviennent de la Chapelle Royale de Versailles et témoignent de l’éclat liturgique de l’Ancien Régime.

Sous la direction d’Akiva David, et interprétées par la Choral Society of Fête Saint-Hubert Hounds, ces messes recréent la grandeur sonore de Lully, Rameau et Delalande, avec instruments d’époque à diapason historique (A=415) et chœur en latin. Du murmure d’un hautbois solitaire à l’éclat triomphal des trompettes naturelles et des timbales, l’enregistrement, capté dans l’acoustique majestueuse d’une chapelle royale, restitue la dévotion, la pompe et la splendeur artistique d’un monde disparu.

1 To you I call, O LORD my Rock;
Do not be deaf to my loud cry.
I’ll be like those gone down to death,
If you are silent in reply.

2 Receive my plea for mercy, LORD,
As now I call to you for grace,
As I lift up my hands in prayer
And look to your Most Holy Place.

6 Praise to the LORD, for he has heard
The plea for mercy which I made.
7 He is my strength, he is my shield;
I trust in him who sends me aid.

9 LORD, save your people, your own flock;
Be pleased your heritage to bless.
Be their good shepherd; carry them
For ever in your faithfulness.

  9  By what means shall a young man learn
        his way to purify?
     If he according to thy word
        thereto attentive be.

 10  Unfeignedly thee have I sought
        with all my soul and heart:
     O let me not from the right path
        of thy commands depart.

 11  Thy word I in my heart have hid,
        that I offend not thee.
 12  O Lord, thou ever blessed art,
        thy statutes teach thou me.

 13  The judgments of thy mouth each one
        my lips declared have:
 14  More joy thy testimonies' way
        than riches all me gave.

 15  I will thy holy precepts make
        my meditation;
     And carefully I'll have respect
        unto thy ways each one.

 16  Upon thy statutes my delight
        shall constantly be set:
     And, by thy grace, I never will
        thy holy word forget.
