I'll celebrate thy praises, Lord by Joseph Stephenson — Lyrics
Psalmus cantici, in dedicatione domus David.
Exaltabo te, Domine, quoniam suscepisti me, nec delectasti inimicos meos super me.
Domine Deus meus, clamavi ad te, et sanasti me.
Domine, eduxisti ab inferno animam meam; salvasti me a descendentibus in lacum.
Psallite Domino, sancti ejus; et confitemini memoriae
sanctitatis ejus.
Quoniam ira in indignatione ejus, et vita in voluntate ejus:
ad vesperum demorabitur fletus, et ad matutinum laetitia.
Ego autem dixi in abundantia mea: Non movebor in æternum.

About I'll celebrate thy praises, Lord
This hymn of praise in SATB setting opens with a text of exultation and thanksgiving. The Latin words, drawn from Psalm 30, speak of God's protection and deliverance, of calling out in times of trouble and finding healing and joy. The composer Joseph Stephenson sets this psalm, which is traditionally associated with the dedication of a house, to music that reflects the profound gratitude and renewed hope found within the text. The piece moves from expressions of deep personal reliance on God to a celebration of His enduring faithfulness, offering a powerful anthem for occasions of thanksgiving and dedication.
