Barmherzig ist der Herr und gnädig by Friedrich Schneider — Lyrics
Ipsi David. Benedic, anima mea, Domino, et omnia quae intra me sunt nomini sancto ejus.
Benedic, anima mea, Domino, et noli oblivisci omnes retributiones ejus.
Qui propitiatur omnibus iniquitatibus tuis; qui sanat omnes infirmitates tuas:
qui redimit de interitu vitam tuam; qui coronat te in misericordia et miserationibus:
qui replet in bonis desiderium tuum; renovabitur ut aquilae juventus tua:
faciens misericordias Dominus, et judicium omnibus injuriam patientibus.
Notas fecit vias suas Moysi; filiis Israël voluntates suas.
Miserator et misericors Dominus: longanimis, et multum misericors.
Non in perpetuum irascetur, neque in aeternum comminabitur.
Non secundum peccata nostra fecit nobis, neque secundum iniquitates nostras retribuit nobis.
Quoniam secundum altitudinem caeli a terra, corroboravit misericordiam suam
super timentes se;
quantum distat ortus ab occidente, longe fecit a nobis iniquitates nostras.

About Barmherzig ist der Herr und gnädig
Friedrich Schneider’s Barmherzig ist der Herr und gnädig is a motet for TTBB male voices. Its text draws from Psalm 103, beginning in Latin with a call to bless the Lord and not forget His benefits, particularly His forgiveness and healing. The German title, translating to ‘Merciful and gracious is the Lord,’ introduces a focus on God’s enduring compassion and patience. The music reflects the text’s devotional character, with the four male voice parts weaving together to create a rich and sonorous texture. The composer’s setting guides the listener through themes of divine mercy, judgment, and unwavering love, building to a prayerful conclusion.
