De tout mon coeur t'exalteray by Claude Le Jeune — Lyrics
In finem, pro occultis filii. Psalmus David.
Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo; narrabo omnia mirabilia tua.
Laetabor et exsultabo in te; psallam nomini tuo, Altissime.
In convertendo inimicum meum retrorsum; infirmabuntur, et peribunt a facie tua.
Quoniam fecisti judicium meum et causam meam; sedisti super thronum, qui judicas justitiam.
Increpasti gentes, et periit impius: nomen eorum delesti in aeternum,
et in saeculum saeculi.
Inimici defecerunt frameae in finem, et civitates eorum
destruxisti. Periit memoria eorum cum sonitu;
et Dominus in aeternum permanet. Paravit in judicio thronum suum,
et ipse judicabit orbem terrae in aequitate: judicabit populos in justitia.
Et factus est Dominus refugium pauperi; adjutor in opportunitatibus, in tribulatione.
Et sperent in te qui noverunt nomen tuum,
quoniam non dereliquisti quaerentes te, Domine.

It opens with a sense of immediate engagement, drawing the listener into the sacred narrative. The interplay between the voices enhances the devotional message, creating moments of both solemnity and exultation as the text unfolds its profound themes of praise and divine judgment.
