Praise ye God throughout creation
Cantata for the 15th Sunday after Trinity BWV 51, 1730 (?)
The original occasion for the composition of Cantata BWV 51 is not known. The unusual festive scoring with trumpet and solo soprano, and the virtuoso demands of these parts seem to indicate a special occasion, such as New Year, a town council election or the birthday of a prominent person. Bach only added the liturgical designation of the 15th Sunday after Trinity to the titlepage of his score later. The text is directed to the praise of God and thanks for the goodness he has shown, combined with a plea for support in the future. The chorale verse "Sei Lob und Preis mit Ehren" is not a typically straightforward four-part setting, but is incorporated into an instrumental trio movement. Together with the following “Alleluja”, it forms a brilliant concertante conclusion to the work.

Earth and Heaven, far and near,
His omnipotence revere;
all proclaim his might exalted.
And we wish to bring our God

for our Lord, throughout all fear,
day by day stands firm beside us.

where God’s own glory dwelleth,
where ev’ry day He doth repay
with grace those who believeth.
We praise the Lord for all that He has done.
Although my broken voice before Him halts and stutters,
my God delights to hear the praise it feebly utters.Father, give us still Thy favor,

Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen!
2 Recitativo
Was der Himmel und die Welt
an Geschöpfen in sich hält,
müssen dessen Ruhm erhöhen,
und wir wollen unserm Gott
gleichfalls itzt ein Opfer bringen,
dass er uns in Kreuz und Not
allezeit hat beigestanden.
Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen!Wir beten zu dem Tempel an,
da Gottes Ehre wohnet,
da dessen Treu, so täglich neu,
mit lauter Segen lohnet.
Wir preisen, was er an uns hat getan.
Muss gleich der schwache Mund
von seinen Wundern lallen,
so kann ein schlechtes Lob
ihm dennoch wohl gefallen....
