Benedic anima mea Domino by Ivo de Vento — Lyrics
Ipsi David. Benedic, anima mea, Domino, et omnia quae intra me sunt nomini sancto ejus.
Benedic, anima mea, Domino, et noli oblivisci omnes retributiones ejus.
Qui propitiatur omnibus iniquitatibus tuis; qui sanat omnes infirmitates tuas:
qui redimit de interitu vitam tuam; qui coronat te in misericordia et miserationibus:
qui replet in bonis desiderium tuum; renovabitur ut aquilae juventus tua:
faciens misericordias Dominus, et judicium omnibus injuriam patientibus.
Notas fecit vias suas Moysi; filiis Israël voluntates suas.
Miserator et misericors Dominus: longanimis, et multum misericors.
Non in perpetuum irascetur, neque in aeternum comminabitur.
Non secundum peccata nostra fecit nobis, neque secundum iniquitates nostras retribuit nobis.
Quoniam secundum altitudinem caeli a terra, corroboravit misericordiam suam
super timentes se;
quantum distat ortus ab occidente, longe fecit a nobis iniquitates nostras.

About Benedic anima mea Domino
Ivo de Vento's motet Benedic anima mea Domino is a setting of a text drawn from Psalm 103. The composer, working in the rich tradition of Renaissance sacred polyphony, crafts a devotional work for SATB choir. The Latin text is a psalm of praise, exalting God for his mercies and good deeds, and calling the soul to bless him. De Vento's music reflects the solemnity and fervour of the scriptural words, providing a setting suitable for liturgical use or concert performance. The composer’s skill in weaving the vocal lines together creates a rich texture, giving expression to the psalm’s message of divine forgiveness, healing, and faithfulness.
