Beatus vir by Tiburtio Massaino — Lyrics
Alleluia. Reversionis Aggei et Zacchariae. Beatus vir qui timet Dominum: in mandatis ejus volet nimis.
Potens in terra erit semen ejus; generatio rectorum benedicetur.
Gloria et divitiae in domo ejus: et justitia ejus manet in saeculum saeculi.
Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: misericors, et miserator, et justus.
Jucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat; disponet sermones suos in judicio:
quia in aeternum non commovebitur.
In memoria aeterna erit justus;

About Beatus vir
This setting of Psalm 111, Beatus vir, is by Tiburtio Massaino. The text, a Vesper Psalm, offers a joyful reflection on the blessings bestowed upon the righteous who fear the Lord. Massaino’s SATTB voicing enhances the rich texture of the Latin text, creating a devotional atmosphere. The music follows the scriptural narrative, celebrating the prosperity and enduring legacy of the just man. It moves from a declaration of his blessings to the ultimate affirmation of his eternal remembrance and unwavering faith. This sacred work is suited for services or concerts where a profound expression of faith and divine favour is desired.
