Die koning sal hem verbliden - ps21 by Cornelis Boscoop — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus David.
Domine, in virtute tua laetabitur rex, et super salutare tuum exsultabit vehementer.
Desiderium cordis ejus tribuisti ei, et voluntate labiorum ejus non fraudasti eum.
Quoniam praevenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis; posuisti in capite ejus coronam de lapide pretioso.
Vitam petiit a te, et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum, in saeculum, et in saeculum saeculi.
Magna est gloria ejus in salutari tuo; gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum.
Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in saeculum saeculi; laetificabis eum in gaudio
cum vultu tuo.
Quoniam rex sperat in Domino, et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur.

About Die koning sal hem verbliden - ps21
A jubilant King's accession is celebrated in this motet by Cornelis Boscoop. The text, sung in Latin with a Dutch translation provided, is drawn from Psalm 21, expressing deep joy and confidence in divine favour. The composer uses the SATB voicing to create a rich texture befitting the regal subject matter. The psalm speaks of the king's strength and his ultimate reliance on the Lord, a powerful message delivered through the polyphonic tradition. This motet offers a profound musical setting of a text focused on royal triumph and spiritual assurance, suitable for services or concerts marking occasions of celebration and thanksgiving.
