All thy works praise thee by James Kent — Lyrics
Laudatio ipsi David. Exaltabo te, Deus meus rex, et benedicam nomini tuo in saeculum,
et in saeculum saeculi.
Per singulos dies benedicam tibi, et laudabo nomen tuum in saeculum, et in saeculum saeculi.
Magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis, et magnitudinis ejus non est finis.
Generatio et generatio laudabit opera tua, et potentiam tuam pronuntiabunt.
Magnificentiam gloriae sanctitatis tuae loquentur, et mirabilia tua narrabunt.
Et virtutem terribilium tuorum dicent, et magnitudinem tuam narrabunt.
Memoriam abundantiae suavitatis tuae eructabunt, et justitia tua exsultabunt.
Miserator et misericors Dominus: patiens, et multum misericors.
Suavis Dominus universis, et miserationes ejus super omnia opera ejus.
Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnia opera tua, et sancti tui benedicant tibi.
Gloriam regni tui dicent, et potentiam tuam loquentur:

About All thy works praise thee
James Kent's setting of All thy works praise thee is a verse anthem for SAATB voices, drawing on the tradition of English sacred music. The text, taken from Psalm 145, is presented in both its original Latin and an English translation. The composer explores the profound declaration of God's greatness and enduring mercy, with lyrical lines that extol His magnificent glory and wondrous works. The music unfolds through the voices, seeking to capture the devotional spirit of the psalm, which proclaims the Lord as merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. It offers a rich opportunity for expressive vocal performance within a sacred context.
