Benedic anima mea by Nobuaki Izawa — Lyrics
Ipsi David. Benedic, anima mea, Domino, et omnia quae intra me sunt nomini sancto ejus.
Benedic, anima mea, Domino, et noli oblivisci omnes retributiones ejus.
Qui propitiatur omnibus iniquitatibus tuis; qui sanat omnes infirmitates tuas:
qui redimit de interitu vitam tuam; qui coronat te in misericordia et miserationibus:
qui replet in bonis desiderium tuum; renovabitur ut aquilae juventus tua:
faciens misericordias Dominus, et judicium omnibus injuriam patientibus.
Notas fecit vias suas Moysi; filiis Israël voluntates suas.
Miserator et misericors Dominus: longanimis, et multum misericors.
Non in perpetuum irascetur, neque in aeternum comminabitur.
Non secundum peccata nostra fecit nobis, neque secundum iniquitates nostras retribuit nobis.
Quoniam secundum altitudinem caeli a terra, corroboravit misericordiam suam
super timentes se;
quantum distat ortus ab occidente, longe fecit a nobis iniquitates nostras.

About Benedic anima mea
This sacred motet, Benedic anima mea, is ideal for communion or general use. Nobuaki Izawa sets a Latin text drawn from Psalm 103, which praises God for His many blessings and mercies. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic writing, while the text speaks of God's forgiveness, healing, and constant love. The composer's setting would suit a choir looking for a devotional piece that encourages reflection on divine redemption. The flowing melodic lines and clear structure make it accessible for choirs seeking to expand their sacred repertoire with meaningful, text-driven music.
