Exultate justi by Ludovico da Viadana — 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.

Congregans sicut in utre aquas maris;
ponens in thesauris abyssos.

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

About Exultate justi
Ludovico da Viadana was a pivotal figure in the development of the early Baroque motet. This setting of Psalm 32 (33) offers a powerful and celebratory text, proclaiming God's might and the praise due to Him. The Latin lyrics call for rejoicing, confession, and singing a new song, highlighting God's word and works. Viadana's composition is scored for mixed voices (SATB) and for male voices (TTBB), allowing for flexibility in performance. The music would have been intended for services in Catholic churches, reflecting the sacred context of the psalm and the composer's significant contribution to sacred choral music of the period.
