General information
Psalm 117 is the last of series of 11 (107 - 117) which is considered to form a consistent whole (the First Group of Eleven). It is unusually short, most probably because the kabbalistics at work in the group of 11 required only a limited number of words. The Hebrew text contains only 15 words.
The setting by Georg Philipp Telemann substitutes word 'Jehovam' for 'Dominum'
