Cinfitebor tibi Domine by Constantijn Huygens — Lyrics
Ipsi David. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, quoniam audisti verba oris mei.
In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi;
adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitebor nomini tuo: super misericordia tua et veritate tua; quoniam magnificasti super omne, nomen sanctum tuum.
In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me; multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.
Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terrae, quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui.
Et cantent in viis Domini, quoniam magna est gloria Domini;
quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit, et alta
