Der Herr ist König und residiert, SWV 197 by Heinrich Schütz — Lyrics
Psalmus ipsi David. Dominus regnavit: irascantur populi;

Dominus in Sion magnus, et excelsus super omnes populos.
Confiteantur nomini tuo magno, quoniam terribile et sanctum est,
et honor regis judicium diligit. Tu parasti directiones;
judicium et justitiam in Jacob tu fecisti.

About Der Herr ist König und residiert, SWV 197
Heinrich Schütz's setting of Der Herr ist König und residiert, SWV 197, is a sacred work for SATB choir. The text, presented in both German and Latin, is drawn from Psalm 93, a hymn of praise celebrating God's majesty and sovereign rule. The music reflects the text's declaration of God's kingship, with powerful pronouncements of his dominion. Schütz, a master of the German Baroque, crafts a piece that emphasizes the awe-inspiring nature of the divine, suitable for liturgical settings where the glory of God is proclaimed. The composer's skill in setting sacred texts is evident in this compelling anthem.
