Hundred and Forty-Fifth Psalm by Oliver Holden — Lyrics
Laudatio ipsi David. Exaltabo te, Deus meus rex, et benedicam nomini tuo in saeculum,
et in saeculum saeculi.
Per singulos dies benedicam tibi, et laudabo nomen tuum in saeculum, et in saeculum saeculi.
Magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis, et magnitudinis ejus non est finis.
Generatio et generatio laudabit opera tua, et potentiam tuam pronuntiabunt.
Magnificentiam gloriae sanctitatis tuae loquentur, et mirabilia tua narrabunt.
Et virtutem terribilium tuorum dicent, et magnitudinem tuam narrabunt.
Memoriam abundantiae suavitatis tuae eructabunt, et justitia tua exsultabunt.
Miserator et misericors Dominus: patiens, et multum misericors.
Suavis Dominus universis, et miserationes ejus super omnia opera ejus.
Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnia opera tua, et sancti tui benedicant tibi.
Gloriam regni tui dicent, et potentiam tuam loquentur:

About Hundred and Forty-Fifth Psalm
Oliver Holden's setting of the Hundred and Forty-Fifth Psalm is a jubilant declaration of God's greatness and enduring mercy. The text, drawn from Psalm 145, overflows with praise, enumerating the boundless power, glory, and loving-kindness of the Almighty. Holden crafts this for SATB choir, allowing the rich textures of four-part harmony to convey the psalm's devotional fervor. The Latin original is complemented by an English translation, offering accessibility to a wider range of choirs. This hymn of praise is both a powerful devotional statement and a musically engaging work for a mixed-voice ensemble.
