Confitebor quoniam audisti by Tiburtio Massaino — Lyrics
Ipsi David. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, quoniam audisti verba oris mei.
In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi;
adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitebor nomini tuo: super misericordia tua et veritate tua; quoniam magnificasti super omne, nomen sanctum tuum.
In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me; multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.
Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terrae, quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui.
Et cantent in viis Domini, quoniam magna est gloria Domini;
quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit, et alta

About Confitebor quoniam audisti
Tiburtio Massaino's Confitebor quoniam audisti is a sacred setting for SATTB voices, written in Latin. As a Vesper Psalm, it draws from the rich tradition of Vespers settings, often used in evening services. The text, taken from Psalm 138, is a powerful expression of praise and thanksgiving. The psalmist declares their intention to sing God's praises before the angels and to give thanks for His mercy and truth. The composer crafts a setting that underscores the text's themes of divine power, humility in the face of God's majesty, and confidence in His deliverance. This motet offers a profound devotional experience, suitable for choirs seeking to explore Renaissance sacred repertoire.
