Deus misereatur by Philipp Dulichius — Lyrics
In finem, in hymnis. Psalmus cantici David.
Deus misereatur nostri, et benedicat nobis; illuminet vultum suum super nos,
et misereatur nostri:
ut cognascamus in terra viam tuam, in omnibus gentibus salutare tuum.
Confiteantur tibi populi, Deus: confiteantur tibi populi omnes.

About Deus misereatur
This setting of Psalm 67 (66) would be appropriate for services of general thanksgiving, or at any time when a choir wishes to express a prayer for God's blessing and guidance. The text is a prayer for God's favour, that His ways may be known on earth and His saving power among all nations. It calls for rejoicing and thanksgiving for God's righteous judgment and direction of peoples. Philipp Dulichius sets this powerful Latin text for double choir (SATB.SATB), offering rich opportunities for antiphonal effects and contrapuntal interplay. The motet is a substantial work, suitable for a choir with strong vocal resources looking for a challenging and uplifting anthem for liturgical or concert use.
