Angelis suis Deus mandavit by Johann Michael Haydn — Lyrics
Angelis suis Deus mandavit de te: ut custodiant te in omnibus viis tuis.
In manibus portabunt[tollent] te, ne forte[unquam] offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum.
About Angelis suis Deus mandavit
God commands his angels to guard you in all your ways, carrying you in their hands lest you strike your foot against a stone. This setting of Psalm 90.11-12 by Johann Michael Haydn paints a vivid picture of divine protection. Written for SATB choir, the Latin text is treated with a noble simplicity that underscores the confident assurance of the words. The music reflects the serene power of the message, offering a moment of spiritual reassurance and calm. It is a resonant example of sacred choral music, suitable for moments of contemplation and quiet devotion.
