Telemann wrote at least one (from a search it seems maybe three?) other sacred vocal works called "Der Herr ist König" (a popular psalm incipit...), a setting of Psalm 93 (not 97), TVWV 7:31 (11 minutes, not 22, and represented in the NMLibrary by several of the recordings above- whereas as of 2019 there is only one recording of TWV 8:6, in the arrangement believed to be by JS Bach and published only as recently as 2006 it seems.)

The description of 8:6 from the published score does not list an orchestral component, though the manuscript certainly seems to... ah, there's a reason for that. The version with orchestra is an arrangement, probably/perhaps by Bach (there seems to be some agreement about this.)

Performed by Bach in Leipzig (and possibly by Opitz also, see above) in 1725 in an arrangement adding a small orchestra and soloists. Originally for multiple choruses.
