Divites eguerunt by Nobuaki Izawa — Lyrics
Davidi, cum immutavit vultum suum coram Achimelech, et dimisit eum, et abiit.
Benedicam Dominum in omni tempore; semper laus ejus in ore meo.
In Domino laudabitur anima mea: audiant mansueti, et laetentur.
Magnificate Dominum mecum, et exaltemus nomen ejus in idipsum.
Exquisivi Dominum, et exaudivit me; et ex omnibus tribulationibus meis eripuit me.
Accedite ad eum, et illuminamini; et facies vestrae non confundentur.
Iste pauper clamavit, et Dominus exaudivit eum,
et de omnibus tribulationibus ejus salvavit eum.
Immittet angelus Domini in circuitu timentium eum, et eripiet eos.
Gustate et videte quoniam suavis est Dominus; beatus vir qui sperat in eo.
Timete Dominum, omnes sancti ejus, quoniam non est inopia timentibus eum.
Divites eguerunt, et esurierunt; inquirentes autem Dominum non minuentur omni bono.
Venite, filii; audite me: timorem Domini docebo vos.

About Divites eguerunt
Nobuaki Izawa’s motet Divites eguerunt is a sacred work for SATB choir, setting a Latin text that draws from various biblical sources. The opening verse, taken from Psalm 34, speaks of the poor crying out and the Lord hearing them, followed by verses that encourage praise and trust in God. The music reflects this message of divine deliverance and the joy found in faithful hope. This motet offers a rich harmonic language and contrapuntal interest, suitable for a committed choral ensemble. It provides an opportunity for expressive singing, bringing to life the text's themes of supplication and ultimate salvation.
