Ecce oculi Domini super metuentes eum by Philipp Dulichius — Lyrics
Psalmus David. Exsultate, justi, in Domino; rectos decet collaudatio.
Confitemini Domino in cithara; in psalterio decem chordarum psallite illi.
Cantate ei canticum novum; bene psallite ei in vociferatione.
Quia rectum est verbum Domini, et omnia opera ejus in fide.
Diligit misericordiam et judicium; misericordia Domini plena est terra.
Verbo Domini caeli firmati sunt, et spiritu oris ejus omnis virtus eorum.
Congregans sicut in utre aquas maris;
ponens in thesauris abyssos.

Beata gens cujus est Dominus Deus ejus; populus quem

About Ecce oculi Domini super metuentes eum
Philipp Dulichius’s motet Ecce oculi Domini is a sacred work for choir, setting a Latin text drawn from the Psalms. It opens with the joyful declaration that the Lord’s eyes are upon those who fear Him, calling on the righteous to praise Him with psaltery and new song. The text continues by affirming the truth of God’s word and His works, highlighting His love of mercy and justice, and the abundance of His mercy filling the earth. It marvels at how the heavens were made by His word and all their strength by the spirit of His mouth, before proclaiming that all the earth should fear the Lord. The composer’s setting would suit occasions requiring a robust yet devotional expression of faith, perhaps during Ordinary Time or a service of thanksgiving.
