Ascendit Deus by Simone Stella — Lyrics
In finem,pro filiis Core. Psalmus.
Omnes gentes, plaudite manibus; jubilate Deo in voce exsultationis:
quoniam Dominus excelsus, terribilis, rex magnus super omnem terram.
Subjecit populos nobis, et gentes sub pedibus nostris.
Elegit nobis haereditatem suam; speciem Jacob quam dilexit.
Ascendit Deus in jubilo, et Dominus in voce tubae.

The text speaks of God's ascendance with jubilation and the sound of the trumpet, celebrating his reign over peoples and lands. The music is intended to reflect the grandeur and power of this divine king. Simone Stella's setting emphasizes the triumphant and kingly aspects of the psalm, providing a powerful and uplifting experience for choir and listeners alike. It is a fitting choice for services or concerts seeking to express awe and adoration.
