Nisi Dominus is a setting of the Latin text of Psalm 127 (Vulgate 126) by George Friederic Handel. The name of the piece comes from the first two words (the incipit) of the psalm and it is catalogued in the composer’s complete works as HWV 238. It was completed by 13 July 1707 and is one of a number of works he composed in Italy.
