Confitebor a 4 by Antonio Cifra — 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 a 4
This setting of Psalm 111, Confitebor tibi, Domine, is for SSAB voices in Latin. The text expresses profound gratitude and awe for God's mighty works, His justice, mercy, and the covenant He has made with His people. It speaks of God providing sustenance for those who fear Him and revealing His power to them. The composer, Antonio Cifra, crafts a sacred motet that allows the choir to convey the grandeur and faithfulness described in the psalm. The music underscores the reverence due to God's holy and terrible name, highlighting the wisdom that begins with the fear of the Lord.
