Exsultate iusti in Domino by Juan Gutierrez de Padilla — 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.
Timeat Dominum omnis terra; ab eo autem commoveantur omnes inhabitantes orbem.

Consilium autem Domini in aeternum manet; cogitationes cordis ejus in generatione et generationem.
Beata gens cujus est Dominus Deus ejus; populus quem

About Exsultate iusti in Domino
Juan Gutierrez de Padilla was a prominent composer of the Baroque era in Mexico. This motet, Exsultate iusti in Domino, is a grand setting of Psalm 32 for double choir (SATB.SATB) in Latin. The text is a jubilant psalm of praise, calling for all the righteous to rejoice in the Lord, to sing a new song with skill and with a loud voice. It speaks of God's powerful word and creative acts, and his sovereign control over nations. Padilla's music reflects this exultation, with vibrant interplay between the two choirs and a rich harmonic language suitable for double-choir writing. It is a powerful and celebratory work, ideal for occasions demanding a resplendent sacred sound.
