Beati omnes qui timent Dominum by Jacob Buus — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus.
Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuae;
filii tui sicut novellae olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae.

About Beati omnes qui timent Dominum
Jacob Buus's setting of Psalm 127, Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, is a sacred motet for SATB voices in Latin. The text, a 'Song of Ascents', speaks of the blessings bestowed upon those who fear the Lord and walk in His ways. It paints a picture of domestic felicity and familial prosperity, with a wife like a fruitful vine and children like olive shoots. The composer beautifully captures the text's message of divine favour and peace, creating a work that is both musically engaging and spiritually uplifting. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic textures and contrapuntal interplay, enhancing the prayerful and celebratory nature of the psalm.
