Benedic anima mea in F by Hart Pease Danks — 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 in F
Benedic anima mea in F opens with a soaring, expansive melody that immediately lifts the spirit. Hart Pease Danks crafts this anthem for SATB choir, setting a Latin text drawn from Psalm 102. The music beautifully captures the psalmist’s call to bless the Lord and not forget His benefits, particularly the themes of forgiveness, healing, and redemption. The composer’s setting emphasizes the profound mercy and compassion of God, moving from moments of intimate reflection to grand, declamatory passages. Danks’s skilled interplay of the voices creates a rich and layered sound, making this a powerful and uplifting addition to any sacred choral repertoire, suitable for services or concerts.
