Beati omnes qui timent Dominum by Anonymous — 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
This anonymous motet for ATB voices opens with a flowing, imitative texture that gradually unfolds the sacred text. The music embraces the psalm's message of blessing and prosperity for those who fear the Lord and walk in his ways. The composer crafts a rich, resonant sound world that reflects the joyful assurance of the lyrics, depicting the fruits of a righteous life – from honest labour and a fruitful marriage to flourishing children and lasting peace. The Latin text, drawn from Psalm 128, offers a profound reflection on divine favour and the rewards of faith, rendered here with devotional care and musical sincerity.
