Benedicat nos Deus, Op. 9, No. 2 by Johann Kaspar Aiblinger — Lyrics
In finem, in hymnis. Psalmus cantici David.
Deus misereatur nostri, et benedicat nobis; illuminet vultum suum super nos,
et misereatur nostri:
ut cognascamus in terra viam tuam, in omnibus gentibus salutare tuum.
Confiteantur tibi populi, Deus: confiteantur tibi populi omnes.

About Benedicat nos Deus, Op. 9, No. 2
The text for Benedicat nos Deus is a prayer for God's mercy and blessing, found in Psalm 67. It asks that God's face shine upon us, so that His ways may be known on earth and His saving power among all nations. The prayer culminates in a joyful exultation as peoples confess God's righteousness and rejoice in His guidance. This setting for SATB choir captures the solemnity of the supplication and the celebratory praise inherent in the sacred Latin text. Composer Johann Kaspar Aiblinger's work offers a rich harmonic setting for this deeply spiritual message, making it a fitting choice for liturgical occasions.
