Beatus vir qui timet Dominum a 4 by Amadio Freddi — 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 qui timet Dominum a 4
This setting of Psalm 111, Beatus vir qui timet Dominum, begins by describing the blessed man who fears the Lord, finding his delight in His commandments. The text unfolds to paint a picture of prosperity and righteousness, with light arising in darkness for the upright. It speaks of a merciful and just individual, whose memory will endure eternally, free from the fear of evil. The psalm emphasizes a heart prepared to hope in the Lord, firm and unshakeable, even when facing enemies. This sacred work is set for SATB choir in Latin, reflecting the traditional Vesper Psalms.
