Benedicam Dominum in omni tempore by Heinrich Schütz — Lyrics
Davidi, cum immutavit vultum suum coram Achimelech, et dimisit eum, et abiit.
Benedicam Dominum in omni tempore; semper laus ejus in ore meo.
In Domino laudabitur anima mea: audiant mansueti, et laetentur.
Magnificate Dominum mecum, et exaltemus nomen ejus in idipsum.
Exquisivi Dominum, et exaudivit me; et ex omnibus tribulationibus meis eripuit me.
Accedite ad eum, et illuminamini; et facies vestrae non confundentur.
Iste pauper clamavit, et Dominus exaudivit eum,
et de omnibus tribulationibus ejus salvavit eum.
Immittet angelus Domini in circuitu timentium eum, et eripiet eos.
Gustate et videte quoniam suavis est Dominus; beatus vir qui sperat in eo.
Timete Dominum, omnes sancti ejus, quoniam non est inopia timentibus eum.
Divites eguerunt, et esurierunt; inquirentes autem Dominum non minuentur omni bono.
Venite, filii; audite me: timorem Domini docebo vos.

About Benedicam Dominum in omni tempore
Heinrich Schütz's Benedicam Dominum in omni tempore is a sacred motet for treble, bass, and tenor voices. The text, in Latin, draws from Psalm 34, expressing profound trust in God's deliverance and providence. It speaks of praising the Lord at all times, finding comfort and joy in His presence, and seeking refuge from all tribulations. The composer's masterful setting captures the devotional spirit of the psalm, urging listeners to approach God and experience His goodness. The motet unfolds as a powerful testament to faith, with the three voices weaving together to convey a message of hope and unwavering devotion. This work reflects the rich tradition of Lutheran sacred music from the Baroque era.
