Clamaverunt justi by Jacob Meiland — 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 Clamaverunt justi
The text of this motet draws from the Old Testament, vividly illustrating a moment of divine intervention and deliverance. It begins with a passage from the Book of Psalms, celebrating God's constant praise and answering prayers, emphasizing salvation from troubles. The composer Jacob Meiland sets this Latin text for SATB choir, offering a rich four-part texture. His setting likely reflects the devotional and rhetorical character of the psalmody, providing a compelling musical interpretation of themes of faith, supplication, and ultimate rescue from hardship. This motet would suit a service or concert seeking powerful sacred repertoire.
