Dixit Dominus by Giovanni Bernardo Colombi — Lyrics
Psalmus David. Dixit Dominus Domino meo: sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos
scabellum pedum tuorum.
Virgam virtutis tuae emittet Dominus ex Sion: dominare in medio
inimicorum tuorum.
Tecum principium in die virtutis tuae in splendoribus sanctorum:
ex utero, ante luciferum, genui te.

About Dixit Dominus
This setting of Psalm 110 (109), Dixit Dominus, by Giovanni Bernardo Colombi, is suitable for services in the Vesper Psalms tradition. The text, a powerful declaration of God's might and the eternal priesthood of the Messiah, is set for a substantial SATTB choir. The composer's treatment of the Latin words will surely impress any choir director looking for substantial sacred repertoire. This psalm has long been a favourite for settings that demand rich choral textures and a sense of divine authority.
