Dieu nous montre un coeur pitoyable by Didier Poncet — 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 Dieu nous montre un coeur pitoyable
This SATB setting of Dieu nous montre un coeur pitoyable opens with a direct and devotional appeal for God's mercy. The text, a rich blend of Latin and French, draws from Psalm 67, a prayer for divine blessing and guidance. The music unfolds with a transparent texture, allowing each voice to contribute to the overall plea for God to show his compassionate heart and make his saving power known throughout the earth. The composer crafts a sound world that is both intimate and grand, reflecting the universal nature of the psalm's petition for all nations to rejoice in God's just rule. The work concludes with a powerful affirmation of God's blessing upon all the ends of the earth, offering a message of hope and universal recognition of divine providence.
