In Exitu - Mixtus tonus falsibordoni by Tomás Luis de Victoria — Lyrics
Alleluja. In exitu Israël de Aegypto, domus Jacob de populo barbaro,
facta est Judaea sanctificatio ejus; Israël potestas ejus.
Mare vidit, et fugit; Jordanis conversus est retrorsum.
Montes exsultaverunt ut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium.
Quid est tibi, mare, quod fugisti? et tu, Jordanis, quia conversus es retrorsum?
montes, exsultastis sicut arietes? et colles, sicut agni ovium?
A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Jacob:
qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum, et rupem in fontes aquarum.
Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam:
super misericordia tua et veritate tua;
nequando dicant gentes: Ubi est Deus eorum?
Deus autem noster in caelo; omnia quaecumque voluit fecit.
Simulacra gentium argentum et aurum, opera manuum hominum.
Os habent, et non loquentur; oculos habent, et non videbunt.
Aures habent, et non audient; nares habent, et non odorabunt.

About In Exitu - Mixtus tonus falsibordoni
This setting of Psalm 113 by Tomás Luis de Victoria vividly recounts the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. The text describes the Red Sea parting, the Jordan River turning back, and mountains leaping like rams, all in celebration of God's power and sanctification of his people. The composer's SATB arrangement in Latin captures the dramatic narrative, culminating in a plea for glory not to be given to mortals but to God's name, acknowledging His might and presence in heaven. It is a powerful setting of a pivotal biblical event, suitable for liturgical use or concert performance.
