Gelobet sei der Herr, mein Gott (Praised be the Lord, my God),[1] BWV 129, is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach.

[3] The text of the cantata is a general praise of the Trinity, without a reference to a specific gospel reading.

[6] The cantata is based entirely on the unchanged words on the hymn Gelobet sei der Herr, mein Gott (1665) by Johann Olearius and celebrates the Trinity in five stanzas.

Unlike most chorale cantatas of 1724/25, but similar to the early Christ lag in Todes Banden, BWV 4, and Lobe den Herren, den mächtigen König der Ehren, BWV 137, also composed after the second cantata cycle, Bach left the chorale text unchanged, thus without a reference to the readings.

[4] The opening chorus on the first stanza of the chorale begins with a concerto of all the instruments as a ritornello.

"[8] By this festive ending Bach marked Trinity Sunday as the conclusion of the first part of the liturgical year.
