Beati omnes qui timent dominum by Matthias Eckel — 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 motet by Matthias Eckel, Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, is a setting of a Latin text drawn from Psalm 127. Such texts are often sung at weddings, celebrating the blessings of family life and domestic stability. The composer, Eckel, sets the psalm for a substantial SSATB choir. The text speaks of the joys of those who fear the Lord, enjoying the fruits of their labour and seeing their family flourish like a vine and olive shoots around their table. It offers a vision of profound blessing, both worldly and spiritual, culminating in a prayer for long life and peace.
