Psalme XLI. L'homme est heureux by Didier Lupi second — Lyrics
L'homme est heureux qui des gens souffrereux,
De l'indigent et du pouvre prend eure:
Car qui leur donne et preste nourriture
Au temps mauluais, Dieu en sera songneux.
2 Dieu en prendra soing,
Ainsi qu'au besoign
Le pouvre en ses iours
Eut de luy secours,
Biens aura et rentes,
Et ne sera mis
es mains violentes
De ses ennemis.
3 Quand en grief mal quelque foys rumbera,
Ou luy viendra quelque necesité,
Comme il aura le pouvre visité,
Dieu, en plaisir, son tourment changera.
4 De la vient, que lors
Qu'en mal est mon corps,
(De roy m'aduisant)
Ie te vois disant,
Seigneur ta clemence,

About Psalme XLI. L'homme est heureux
Didier Lupi second composed this setting of Psalm 41 in French for SATB voices. The text, which speaks of God's care for those who help the poor and needy, offers a powerful message of divine providence. The psalm expresses the joy of the charitable person, assuring them that God will remember their kindness in times of trouble. It also includes a personal plea for mercy from the psalmist, acknowledging past offenses and seeking divine intervention against enemies. This sacred song provides a rich opportunity for expressive choral performance, delving into themes of compassion and redemption.
