Confitebor tibi Domine by Rupert Ignaz Mayr — 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 motet for SATB choir sets a Latin text from Psalm 111, a psalm of thanksgiving. The text speaks of praising God for His mighty works, His justice and righteousness, and His covenant with His people. It describes God as merciful, gracious, and a provider for those who fear Him, promising them an inheritance. The composer Rupert Ignaz Mayr was a prolific musician of the Baroque era in Bavaria. This work would be suitable for services of thanksgiving or general liturgical use, highlighting themes of divine faithfulness and justice.
