All laud and praise with heart and voice by Thomas Clark — Lyrics
Psalmus cantici, in dedicatione domus David.
Exaltabo te, Domine, quoniam suscepisti me, nec delectasti inimicos meos super me.
Domine Deus meus, clamavi ad te, et sanasti me.
Domine, eduxisti ab inferno animam meam; salvasti me a descendentibus in lacum.
Psallite Domino, sancti ejus; et confitemini memoriae
sanctitatis ejus.
Quoniam ira in indignatione ejus, et vita in voluntate ejus:
ad vesperum demorabitur fletus, et ad matutinum laetitia.
Ego autem dixi in abundantia mea: Non movebor in æternum.

About All laud and praise with heart and voice
This setting of All laud and praise with heart and voice would be ideal for a dedication service or a general thanksgiving. The text, beginning with a psalm of David, expresses profound gratitude for deliverance from enemies and the depths of despair. It moves from a recognition of God’s power and enduring will to personal pleas and ultimately to a celebration of restoration and joy. The composer Thomas Clark crafts this for SATB choir, allowing the varied vocal lines to reflect the text’s journey from supplication to exultation. The inclusion of Latin phrases alongside the English provides a rich textual and liturgical dimension, making it a compelling choice for choirs seeking a piece that is both spiritually uplifting and musically engaging.
