Exsultate iusti a 10 by Tiburtio Massaino — Lyrics
Psalmus David. Exsultate, justi, in Domino; rectos decet collaudatio.

Beata gens cujus est Dominus Deus ejus; populus quem

About Exsultate iusti a 10
This motet for double choir of ten voices (STTTB.STTTB) is a setting of a text from the Psalms, celebrating God's power and goodness. The opening verses, 'Exsultate, justi, in Domino' (Rejoice, you righteous, in the Lord), call for joyful praise, a sentiment that continues throughout the piece. The composer builds on the jubilant atmosphere by describing God's mighty acts of creation and governance, contrasting them with the futility of the plans of nations. Massaino's setting of this sacred Latin text would suit occasions of thanksgiving or general praise within a liturgical context.
