Beatus vir II (see disambiguation page for others) by Giovanni Rovetta — Lyrics
Alleluia. Reversionis Aggei et Zacchariae. Beatus vir qui timet Dominum: in mandatis ejus volet nimis.
Potens in terra erit semen ejus; generatio rectorum benedicetur.
Gloria et divitiae in domo ejus: et justitia ejus manet in saeculum saeculi.
Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: misericors, et miserator, et justus.
Jucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat; disponet sermones suos in judicio:
quia in aeternum non commovebitur.
In memoria aeterna erit justus;

About Beatus vir II (see disambiguation page for others)
Giovanni Rovetta's Beatus vir II is a setting of Psalm 111, a text traditionally used in Vespers services. This psalm celebrates the righteous man who fears the Lord, finding his joy in God's commands. The text speaks of his prosperity, the blessing of his descendants, and the enduring legacy of his justice and mercy. Rovetta's setting for SATTB choir unfolds the psalm's message of divine favour and eternal remembrance. The Latin text emphasizes the blessings that follow a life of righteousness, offering a profound reflection on faith and its rewards within the sacred context of Vespers.
