Confitebor by Giovanni Legrenzi — 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
Giovanni Legrenzi's Confitebor is a sacred setting of a Latin text, likely intended for Vespers. The psalm expresses profound gratitude and praise to God for His mighty works, His justice, and His everlasting covenant. The text speaks of God's provision for those who fear Him and His faithfulness in all His commands. It emphasizes the holiness and awe-inspiring nature of God's name, and the beginning of wisdom. This setting for treble, alto, and tenor voices offers a way to explore the devotional spirit of this psalm, with the voices weaving together to convey the solemnity and grandeur of the words.
