Jauchzet Gott, all Lande sehr, SWV 163 by Heinrich Schütz — Lyrics
In finem. Canticum psalmi resurrectionis. Jubilate Deo, omnis terra;
psalmum dicite nomini ejus; date gloriam laudi ejus.
Dicite Deo: Quam terribilia sunt opera tua, Domine! in multitudine virtutis tuae
mentientur tibi inimici tui.
Omnis terra adoret te, et psallat tibi; psalmum dicat nomini tuo.
Venite, et videte opera Dei: terribilis in consiliis super filios
hominum.
Qui convertit mare in aridam; in flumine pertransibunt pede: ibi laetabimur
in ipso.
Qui dominatur in virtute sua in aeternum; oculi ejus super gentes respiciunt: qui exasperant non exaltentur in semetipsis.
Benedicite, gentes, Deum nostrum, et auditam facite vocem laudis ejus:
qui posuit animam meam ad vitam, et non dedit in commotionem pedes meos.
