Confitebor tibi Domine by Andrea Gabrieli — 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 tibi Domine
This setting of Psalm 111 (110) in Latin is a powerful expression of praise and thanksgiving. The text proclaims God's mighty deeds, His eternal justice, and His merciful remembrance of His covenant. It speaks of His provision for those who fear Him and the inheritance He grants His people. Andrea Gabrieli crafts this motet for SATTB voices, allowing for rich, resonant harmonies to convey the grandeur of the text. The polyphony here supports the solemnity and majesty of the psalm, creating a devotional atmosphere suitable for sacred occasions.
