- Edition notes: Edited from the Baldwin Partbooks, collated with GB-Lbl Add. MS 32377. Missing tenor part reconstructed editorially. Original pitch and note values retained. Presented here for textless vocalisation, a known manner of Elizabethan performance (see the commentary appended to the score).

- Edition notes: Source: The Baldwin Partbooks. Two editorial voice parts supplied. The title suggests that the intended text is Vulgate Psalm 127, but, while that psalm is usually set to music in its entirety, Daman provides too little music for this, and the text does not fit the music well either, so a miscellany of psalm texts has been substituted here, drawing on Ps. 127:1, 2:11, 7:2 and 12:6.

Latin text
Beati omnes qui timent Dominum.
Servite Domino in timore et exsultate ei cum tremore.
Domine Deus meus, in te speravi: salvum me fac ex omnibus persequentibus me et libera me.
Cantabo Domino et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.
(Text drawn from Vulgate Psalms 127:1, 2:11, 7:2 and 12:6 and underlaid editorially to Daman’s untexted music.)
