Domine, quis habitabit by Jean Courtois — Lyrics
Canticum David. Domine, quis habitabit in tabernaculo tuo?
aut quis requiescet in monte sancto tuo?
Qui ingreditur sine macula, et operatur iustitiam;
qui loquitur veritatem in corde suo:
qui non egit dolum in lingua sua, nec fecit proximo suo malum,
et opprobrium non accepit adversus proximos suos.

About Domine, quis habitabit
Jean Courtois composed this sacred motet for STTB voices, setting a Latin text drawn from Psalm 15. The lyrics explore the qualities of the righteous person who is worthy to dwell in God's presence. It describes someone who walks blamelessly, acts justly, speaks truth from the heart, and treats their neighbour with integrity, avoiding deceit and malice. The composer highlights virtues such as honesty, loyalty, and compassion, culminating in the assurance that such a person will be eternally secure. The setting offers a thoughtful musical reflection on the psalm's profound spiritual message.
