Ich will den Herren loben allezeit, SWV 306 by Heinrich Schütz — 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.
