Donnez princes et seigneurs, Psalme XXIX by Didier Lupi second — Lyrics
Donnez princes et seigneurs,
Donnez à Dieu toute gloire,
Presentez luy tous honneurs,
Cela vous soit en memoire.
Donnez luy toute puissance,
Sauluez sommes en son nom:
Adorezle en confiance,
Comme requier son renom.
3 Car par son commandement
Conduit les eaux, et tonnerre:
Par sa voix soubdainement,
La mer arrouse la terre.
4 La voix du Seigneur est pleine
De grand liberelité:
Sa puissance est fort haultaine,
Remplye de dignité.
5 Il a de sa voix
Cedres, par façon diuerse:
Du Liban les sapins droicts
Prendront (s'il veult) la reuerse.

About Donnez princes et seigneurs, Psalme XXIX
This powerful French setting of Psalm 29 by Didier Lupi II would suit a moment of reflection on God's might and majesty. The text speaks of giving glory and honour to God, recognizing his command over the elements, and acknowledging the divine voice that can shatter cedars and cause mountains to tremble. The composer treats this grand subject with a SATB voicing, suitable for a moderately sized choir. Lupi's skill in setting words to music is evident here, creating a piece that inspires awe and reverence for the Almighty. It is a fitting choice for services where themes of divine power and sovereignty are explored.
