Confitebor tibi Domine Octavi Toni by Giuseppe Belloni — 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 Domine Octavi Toni
This setting of Psalm 138, Confitebor tibi Domine, is ideal for Vespers, with the choir providing a rich SATTB texture. The Latin text, a psalm of thanksgiving, is treated with reverence and musical elaboration. The composer sets the words of praise and supplication with a flowing melodic style. The text opens with a declaration of praise to God in the presence of angels, followed by the singer's prayer for strength and deliverance. The full psalm speaks of God's knowledge of all things, high and low, and his protection from enemies. This work offers a profound musical reflection on faith and divine mercy.
