Beati Immaculati in via by Johann Walter — Lyrics
Parts of the 119th Psalm. (Lyrics of Cantus and Tenor parts)
1 Beati immaculati in via, qui ambulant in lege Domini.
2 Beati qui scrutantur testimonia ejus; in toto corde exquirunt eum.
5 Utinam dirigantur viae meae ad custodiendas justificationes tuas.
6 Tunc non confundar, cum perspexero in omnibus mandatis tuis.
12 Benedictus es, Domine; doce me justificationes tuas.
35 Deduc me in semitam mandatorum tuorum, quia ipsam volui.
36 Inclina cor meum in testimonia tua, et non in avaritiam.
37 Averte oculos meos, ne videant vanitatem; in via tua vivifica me.
171 Eructabunt labia mea hymnum, cum docueris me justificationes tuas.

About Beati Immaculati in via
Johann Walter's Beati Immaculati in via is a sacred motet for double choir (SATTTB). The text is drawn from Psalm 119, a prayer for guidance and obedience to God's law. The music sets verses that speak of the blessedness of those who walk in the Lord's way, who seek Him with their whole heart, and who pray for their paths to be directed according to His statutes. It expresses a deep longing for spiritual understanding, a desire to keep God's commandments, and a plea to be kept from vanity and greed. The motet culminates in a declaration of praise and a prayer for God's help in upholding His judgments.
