Beati omnes by Stephan Zirler — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus.
Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuae;
filii tui sicut novellae olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae.

About Beati omnes
Stephan Zirler's setting of Beati omnes is a sacred motet for SATB choir, sung in Latin. The text, drawn from Psalm 128, offers a profound blessing upon those who fear the Lord and walk in His ways. It paints a vivid picture of domestic happiness and prosperity, comparing a wife to a fruitful vine and children to olive shoots. The motet beautifully conveys the serene joy and assurance found in devotion, culminating in a prayer for God's blessing and a vision of well-being for the individual and their descendants. Zirler's composition likely enhances the text's message of peace and divine favour through its choral textures.
