Beatus vir cujus est nomen Domini by Philippe de Monte — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus ipsi David.
Exspectans exspectavi Dominum, et intendit mihi.
Et exaudivit preces meas, et eduxit me de lacu miseriae et de luto faecis.
Et statuit super petram pedes meos, et direxit gressus meos.
Et immisit in os meum canticum novum, carmen Deo nostro.
Videbunt multi, et timebunt, et sperabunt in Domino.
Beatus vir cujus est nomen Domini spes ejus, et non respexit in vanitates
et insanias falsas.
Multa fecisti tu, Domine Deus meus, mirabilia tua; et cogitationibus tuis non est qui similis
sit tibi.
Annuntiavi et locutus sum: multiplicati sunt super numerum.
Sacrificium et oblationem noluisti; aures autem perfecisti mihi.
Holocaustum et pro peccato non postulasti;
tunc dixi: Ecce venio.
In capite libri scriptum est de me,

About Beatus vir cujus est nomen Domini
Philippe de Monte's Beatus vir cujus est nomen Domini is a sacred motet for SATTB choir, sung in Latin. The text, drawn from Psalm 40, expresses profound gratitude for deliverance from distress and the establishment of a new song of praise. The composer highlights the joy and hope found in God, contrasting it with false idols. The motet's rich five-part texture likely offers opportunities for varied expression, from moments of deep supplication to triumphant affirmation. Its contemplative yet ultimately hopeful message makes it a compelling choice for liturgical or concert settings. The vocal writing calls for skilled singers to navigate its intricate lines and resonant harmonies.
