Benedicam Dominum in omni tempore by Jean Mouton — 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
Jean Mouton's Benedicam Dominum in omni tempore is a sacred motet setting a Latin text drawn from the Psalms. The rich SAATTB voicing suggests a composer attuned to the expressive possibilities of polyphony, creating intricate textures suited to devotional reflection. The text speaks of unceasing praise to God, finding refuge and deliverance in Him, and encouraging others to seek and experience His goodness. It moves from personal testimony of answered prayer and rescue from troubles to a communal call for exaltation and trust in the Lord, promising salvation to those who fear Him. This motet offers a profound musical setting for contemplation of divine faithfulness and the joys of spiritual confidence.
