Ecce oculi Domini by Nobuaki Izawa — Lyrics
Psalmus David. Exsultate, justi, in Domino; rectos decet collaudatio.

Beata gens cujus est Dominus Deus ejus; populus quem

About Ecce oculi Domini
This motet would be fitting for a communion or general sacred occasion. Nobuaki Izawa sets a text from Psalm 33, a joyous and exuberant psalm of praise. The Latin text exults in God's word and works, finding particular delight in His mercy and justice. The composer's SATB setting will bring out the rich colours of the sacred text, a jubilant celebration of divine power and faithfulness. The psalm speaks of God's creative might, of His scattering the plans of nations, and His unwavering attention to the righteous. The setting offers ample opportunity for expressive choral singing, reflecting the psalm's profound spiritual and musical affirmations.
