Confitebor, MH 321-2 by Johann Michael Haydn — 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, MH 321-2
The text, drawn from Psalm 111, expresses fervent praise and thanksgiving to God for His mighty works and enduring justice. It speaks of His remembrance of His covenant and the gifts bestowed upon those who fear Him. Johann Michael Haydn sets this Latin text for SATB choir, creating a sacred work rooted in the liturgical tradition. The music reflects the text's themes of confession, magnification, and the everlasting nature of God's righteousness and commandments. It is a fitting choice for services where the grandeur of divine works and faithfulness are to be celebrated.
