Beati omnes qui timent Dominum by Vicente Lusitano — 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 qui timent Dominum
Vicente Lusitano's motet Beati omnes qui timent Dominum is a rich exploration of the 128th Psalm. Set in Latin for SSATTB choir, the work embodies the tradition of sacred polyphony. The text, a psalm of ascents, offers blessings and depictions of a fruitful life for those who fear the Lord and walk in His ways. Lusitano's setting vividly portrays the imagery of abundance and domestic felicity, describing the singer's wife as a vine and children as olive shoots. The music builds to a powerful evocation of God's blessing, culminating in wishes for prosperity and peace upon Jerusalem and Israel. This motet offers a profound musical reflection on faith and its rewards.
