41. Chorus – Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their yokes from us.
Psalm 2:3 |
נְֽ֭נַתְּקָה אֶת־מֽוֹסְרוֹתֵ֑ימוֹ וְנַשְׁלִ֖יכָה מִמֶּ֣נּוּ עֲבֹתֵֽימוֹ | 3 ♪g Let us snap their bonds, and kiss good-bye to their cords. | |

The musical phrase is unique, occurring only once in Tanach. It is connected to the prior verse and is devoid of ornamentation. You could easily make a fugue subject from it.
