A Domino factum est istud by Nobuaki Izawa — Lyrics
Alleluja. Confitemini Domino, quoniam bonus, quoniam in saeculum misericordia ejus.
Dicat nunc Israël: Quoniam bonus, quoniam in saeculum misericordia ejus.
Dicat nunc domus Aaron: Quoniam in saeculum misericordia ejus.
Dicant nunc qui timent Dominum: Quoniam in saeculum misericordia ejus.
De tribulatione invocavi Dominum, et exaudivit me in latitudine Dominus.
Dominus mihi adjutor; non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
Dominus mihi adjutor, et ego despiciam inimicos meos.
Bonum est confidere in Domino, quam confidere in homine.
Bonum est sperare in Domino, quam sperare in principibus.
Omnes gentes circuierunt me, et in nomine Domini, quia ultus sum in eos.
Circumdantes circumdederunt me, et in nomine Domini,
quia ultus sum in eos.
Circumdederunt me sicut apes, et exarserunt sicut ignis in spinis:
et in nomine Domini, quia ultus sum in eos.
Impulsus eversus sum, ut caderem, et Dominus suscepit me.
Fortitudo mea et laus mea Dominus, et factus est mihi in salutem.
Vox exsultationis et salutis in tabernaculis justorum.
Dextera Domini fecit virtutem;
