He composed it in 1723 in Leipzig for the twelfth Sunday after Trinity and first performed it on 15 August 1723. It is part of his first annual cycle of cantatas. == History and words == Bach wrote the cantata in his first year in Leipzig, which he had started after Trinity of 1723, for the Twelfth Sunday after Trinity.〔 The prescribed readings for the Sunday were from the Second Epistle to the Corinthians, the ministry of the Spirit (), and from the Gospel of Mark, the healing of a deaf mute man (). The unknown poet referred to the gospel, but saw in the healing more generally God constantly doing good for man. The opening chorus is therefore taken from , "Praise the Lord, my soul, and do not forget the good He has done for you". The poetry refers to "telling" several times, related to the healed man's ability to speak: "Ah, that I had a thousand tongues!"〔 (movement 2), "My soul, arise! tell"〔 (movement 3) and "My mouth is weak, my tongue mute to speak Your praise and honor"〔 (movement 4). Several movements rely on words of a cantata by Johann Oswald Knauer, published in 1720 in ''ドイツ語:Gott-geheiligtes Singen und Spielen des Friedensteinischen Zions'' in Gotha.〔 The closing chorale picks up the theme in the sixth verse of Samuel Rodigast's hymn "ドイツ語:Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan" (What God does, is well done)〔 (1675).〔 Bach first performed the cantata on 15 August 1723. He performed it again around 1727, revised the instrumentation of an aria, and used it in his last years for a cantata for a ''ドイツ語:Ratswahl'' ceremony, the inauguration of the town council at church, ドイツ語:''Lobe den Herrn, meine Seele'', BWV 69.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lobe den Herrn, meine Seele, BWV 69a」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
