Confitebor tibi by Alois Bauer — 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 tibi
Alois Bauer's Confitebor tibi is a sacred motet for a solo male voice. The text is taken from Psalm 138:1-6, a psalm of praise and thanksgiving. The solo singer is invited to give thanks to God in the presence of angels and to praise God's name for mercy and truth. The psalm also speaks of God's greatness and glory, and how God hears the prayers of those who call upon Him, even in times of trouble. The music expresses profound personal devotion and awe, culminating in a declaration of God's might and a plea for protection. This motet offers a powerful and intimate devotional experience.
