Description: This verse anthem, with a text from Psalm 53, is for four soloists (SSBB) and eight-part choir (SSAATTBB). The antiphonal writing in the choruses suggests that the best choral configuration for this piece may be by sides (decani and cantoris), though the parts are not indicated as such except occasionally in the tenor partbook.
