Domine quis habitabit II by Robert White — 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 II
This powerful motet from the Renaissance era explores themes of righteousness and divine favor. The Latin text, a setting of Psalm 15, asks who is worthy to dwell in God's presence. Robert White crafts a response through a rich SATTBB texture, where the voices intertwine to depict the virtuous life described in the psalm: one who walks blamelessly, speaks truth, and acts justly. The music effectively conveys the solemnity of the question and the assurance of eternal reward for the righteous. This motet is ideal for services focusing on themes of holiness, integrity, or the nature of true devotion.
