  • Psalm 139: "O Lord, thou hast searched me out, and known me" James O’Donnell (*1961)
    The Choir of Westminster Abbey & The Choir of His Majesty's Chapel Royal
    Leitung: James O'Donnell (Organist and Master of the Choristers, Westminster Abbey)
    HM the Queen - The Procession to Lying-in-State
    Service for the reception of Her Majesty The Queen's coffin at Westminster Hall
    The Lying-in-State of Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II
    TEXT
    O Lord, thou hast searched me out, and known me :
    thou knowest my down-sitting, and mine up-rising;
    thou understandest my thoughts long before.
    Thou art about my path, and about my bed :
    and spiest out all my ways.
    For lo, there is not a word in my tongue :
    but thou, O Lord, knowest it altogether.
    Thou hast fashioned me behind and before :
    and laid thine hand upon me.
    Such knowledge is too wonderful and excellent for me :
    I cannot attain unto it.
    Whither shall I go then from thy Spirit :
    or whither shall I go then from thy presence?
    If I climb up into heaven, thou art there :
    if I go down to hell, thou art there also.
    If I take the wings of the morning :
    and remain in the uttermost parts of the sea;
    even there also shall thy hand lead me :
    and thy right hand shall hold me.
    If I say, Peradventure the darkness shall cover me :
    then shall my night be turned to day.
    Yea, the darkness is no darkness with thee,
    but the night is as clear as the day :
    the darkness and light to thee are both alike.
    For my reins are thine :
    thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
    I will give thanks unto thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made :
    marvellous are thy works, and that my soul knoweth right well.
    My bones are not hid from thee :
    though I be made secretly, and fashioned beneath in the earth.
    Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect :
    and in thy book were all my members written;
    which day by day were fashioned :
    when as yet there was none of them.
    How dear are thy counsels unto me, O God :
    O how great is the sum of them!
    If I tell them, they are more in number than the sand :
    when I wake up I am present with thee.
    Try me, O God, and seek the ground of my heart :
    prove me, and examine my thoughts.
    Look well if there be any way of wickedness in me :
    and lead me in the way everlasting.
    Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
    as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
    (Psalm 139: 1-18, 23-end)

    I'm back yet again to rewatch this. Out of all the moments prior to the march up The Long Walk at Windsor, THIS moment was the most moving for me. Honestly, though I'm not "religious", per se...this rings in my head. One of the most powerful pieces of video ever filmed in my opinion.

      Perhaps time to be religious, per se? But I do not like the term myself. I would rather say "love and wish to serve Father, Son and Holy Spirit". The various rituals linked to that are more or less important.

      This new version was a great and meaningful last bequest to us all from Her Late Majesty. It is marvellous and wondrous and indeed moves us to the core. Cleanses and heals too, if we let it. Not bad for Old Testament. But, by the way, the scene above that we see - as mediated by the Holy Spirit - is as close to perfection as this world can produce. That magnifies the power of the psalm; perhaps giving it something it has never had before... So much needed in the diabolical 2020s; and part of the reason for the Queen to be taken when she was...

      You’re quite right that the BCP is the place to find it, but the translation by Miles Coverdale actually dates beck to 1535 and it was the version adopted by the original Book of Common Prayer of 1549.
      The King James Bible (published 1611) translation of the Psalms - fine as it is - did not supplant Coverdale’s version in the final edition of the Prayer Book (1662), and with good reason, as regardless of any religion, denomination, or anything else, Coverdale’s translation (and the BCP as a whole) remain one of the greatest repositories of the English language bar none.
