Anima nostra sustinet Dominum by Jacob Regnart — Lyrics
Psalmus David. Exsultate, justi, in Domino; rectos decet collaudatio.
Confitemini Domino in cithara; in psalterio decem chordarum psallite illi.
Cantate ei canticum novum; bene psallite ei in vociferatione.
Quia rectum est verbum Domini, et omnia opera ejus in fide.
Diligit misericordiam et judicium; misericordia Domini plena est terra.
Verbo Domini caeli firmati sunt, et spiritu oris ejus omnis virtus eorum.
Congregans sicut in utre aquas maris;
ponens in thesauris abyssos.

Beata gens cujus est Dominus Deus ejus; populus quem

About Anima nostra sustinet Dominum
Jacob Regnart’s Anima nostra sustinet Dominum is a sacred motet for SATB choir. The Latin text, drawn from Psalm 33, opens with an exhortation to the righteous to rejoice in the Lord and to praise Him with instruments and song. It continues to celebrate the power and truth of God’s word, attributing the creation and ordering of the heavens and earth to His divine command. The music likely reflects the text’s powerful imagery, from the joyous praise to the awe-inspiring pronouncements of divine authority over all the earth and its peoples. Regnart’s setting is a testament to the enduring strength of sacred choral music in the Renaissance.
