Beati omnes qui timent Dominum by Alexander Utendal — 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
The text, drawn from Psalm 127, speaks of the blessings bestowed upon those who fear the Lord and walk in His ways. It paints a picture of domestic felicity: a fruitful wife, flourishing children, and enduring peace. Alexander Utendal’s setting for SATBB choir captures this sense of divine favour and domestic harmony. The rich five-part texture provides ample opportunity for expressive vocal writing, allowing the choir to convey the deep contentment and spiritual reward promised in the psalm. This motet is a moving exploration of faith and its blessings, suitable for services or concerts.
