I will give laud and honor both by Anonymous — Lyrics
Davidi, cum immutavit vultum suum coram Achimelech, et dimisit eum, et abiit.
Benedicam Dominum in omni tempore; semper laus ejus in ore meo.
In Domino laudabitur anima mea: audiant mansueti, et laetentur.
Magnificate Dominum mecum, et exaltemus nomen ejus in idipsum.
Exquisivi Dominum, et exaudivit me; et ex omnibus tribulationibus meis eripuit me.
Accedite ad eum, et illuminamini; et facies vestrae non confundentur.
Iste pauper clamavit, et Dominus exaudivit eum,
et de omnibus tribulationibus ejus salvavit eum.
Immittet angelus Domini in circuitu timentium eum, et eripiet eos.
Gustate et videte quoniam suavis est Dominus; beatus vir qui sperat in eo.
Timete Dominum, omnes sancti ejus, quoniam non est inopia timentibus eum.
Divites eguerunt, et esurierunt; inquirentes autem Dominum non minuentur omni bono.
Venite, filii; audite me: timorem Domini docebo vos.

About I will give laud and honor both
This motet draws text from Psalm 34, a rich source for sacred music, exploring themes of deliverance and divine praise. The opening lines, "I will give laud and honor both," immediately set a tone of fervent thanksgiving. The composer, anonymous, crafts this setting for SATB choir, allowing for a full and resonant expression of the text's journey from tribulation to exultation. The Latin verses speak of seeking the Lord and finding salvation, with the choir invited to "Magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together." The piece moves through verses that encourage the faithful to taste and see that the Lord is good, culminating in a call to all the saints to fear Him. It is a powerful testament to faith and divine protection, suitable for a choir seeking to convey profound spiritual devotion.
