Beati omnes qui timent Dominum by Joachim a Burgk — 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
This sacred motet for SAATB voices sets a Latin text from Psalm 127, the Song of Ascents. It begins with the blessing for those who fear the Lord and walk in His ways. The text then paints a joyful picture of a prosperous home, with a wife like a fruitful vine, children like olive shoots, and a long lineage blessed with peace. The composer Joachim a Burgk musically unfolds this vision of domestic and spiritual well-being, offering a richly harmonized setting that would bring a sense of blessed assurance to any service.
