Buxtehude writes two different settings of the text from Psalm 73:25-26. Both are scored for soprano and strings. BuxWV 38, the shorter of the two, requires two violins and continuo. It is a typical seventeenth century small-scale sacred concerto with each segment of text set with new music. The piece concludes with a joyfully imitative alleluia. BuxWV 39 requires a violone in addition to the two violins and continuo. While the violone mostly doubles the continuo line, it sometimes plays a separate role. While the psalm setting starts off like any other seventeenth century sacred concerto, Buxtehude tacks on a two verse strophic aria at the end of the psalm followed by a jubilant amen.
