Van Nuffel set many Latin texts to music, including ten psalms, for the liturgy and also concert at the Sint Rombouts Kathedraal in Mechelen, where he served as cantor, while Flor Peeters was organist.

Van Nuffel set the psalm in April 1935 for a mixed four-part choir and organ.

"Illuc enim ascenderunt" begins slightly slower (poco allargando) in the basses, again with ascending motifs.

The last psalm verse, "Propter bonum", prepared by a strong crescendo and ritardando, is rendered in calmer, majestic singing, accented by rising chords in the organ.

[6] Another recording of this psalm appears on Psalms – Te Deum at the Sint-Rombouts Cathedral, Malines, a René Gailly CD (87 059), performed by the choir of the Sint Rombouts Cathedral and two other choirs, conducted by Johan Van Bouwelen, with organist Peter Pieters and the brass ensemble "The Art of Brass".
