Note the passages marked "solo"/"tutti" for various voices: not only chorus is indicated here.
Perhaps interestingly, Naumann's Psalm 95 (Kommt herzu) was published, in a new instrumentation by Reissiger, in 1839.
Newberry Library has Breitkopf's vocal score of this, with SSBB chorus, dated approximately to the mid-1790s.
Recorded, with Kommt herzu and Psalm 103, (and the overture to Naumann's "Gustav Wasa") on an Ars Musici CD in 2009.
("Der 96. Psalm In Musik gesetzt von Naumann." was published by Gastl in 1809 and has been digitized by BSB. This perhaps because he may have made slight c changes to the text for musical purposes?...)
