Confitebor by Giovanni Bernardo Colombi — Lyrics
Alleluja. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, in consilio justorum,
et congregatione.
Magna opera Domini: exquisita in omnes voluntates ejus.
Confessio et magnificentia opus ejus, et justitia ejus manet in saeculum saeculi.
Memoriam fecit mirabilium suorum, misericors et miserator
Dominus.
Escam dedit timentibus se; memor erit in saeculum testamenti sui.
Virtutem operum suorum annuntiabit populo suo,

About Confitebor
This setting of Psalm 111 (110) in Latin, Confitebor tibi, Domine, is for SATTB choir. It is a sacred work, suitable for Vespers. The text is a joyful declaration of God's mighty works, his justice, mercy and faithfulness. The psalmist praises the Lord for his wondrous deeds, for remembering his covenant, and for giving his people the inheritance of the nations. The psalm begins with a declaration of praise in the council of the righteous and speaks of God's word enduring forever. The composer, Giovanni Bernardo Colombi, sets this text of profound gratitude and awe in a polyphonic style appropriate for a liturgical setting. This is a substantial and devotional setting of a powerful biblical text.
