Exultate Deo by Stefano Felis — Lyrics
In finem, pro torcularibus. Psalmus ipsi Asaph.
Exsultate Deo adjutori nostro ; jubilate Deo Jacob.
Sumite psalmum, et date tympanum ; psalterium jucundum cum cithara.
Buccinate in neomenia tuba, in insigni die solemnitatis vestræ :
quia præceptum in Israël est, et judicium Deo Jacob.
Testimonium in Joseph posuit illud, cum exiret de terra Ægypti ;
linguam quam non noverat, audivit.
Divertit ab oneribus dorsum ejus ; manus ejus in cophino servierunt.
In tribulatione invocasti me, et liberavi te.
Exaudivi te in abscondito tempestatis ;
probavi te apud aquam contradictionis.

About Exultate Deo
This powerful motet by Stefano Felis is designed for a substantial choir, written for double SATB forces in Latin. It takes its text from Psalm 81, a psalm that calls for joyous praise to God as our helper. The composer urges us to 'Exultate Deo adjutori nostro; jubilate Deo Jacob,' to rejoice and sing praises with instruments, trumpets, and drums. The text speaks of God's commandments and his liberation of his people from bondage, recalling the Exodus from Egypt. It is a vibrant call to acknowledge God as the one true deity and to celebrate his deliverance with fervent exultation, making it a fitting choice for services celebrating God's might and faithfulness.
