Beatus Vir (Ps. 111) Tertii toni by Gierolamo Lambardi — Lyrics
Psalmuscaput 111 (Versio vulgata)
[1 Alleluja, reversionis Aggæi et Zachariæ.]
Beatus vir qui timet Dominum, in mandatis ejus volet nimis.
2 Potens in terra erit semen ejus; generatio rectorum benedicetur.
3 Gloria et divitiæ in domo ejus, et justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.
4 Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis, misericors, et miserator, et justus.
