Blagoslovì, dušè moę, Gospoda by Kievan chant — Lyrics
Благословѝ, душѐ моѧ, Господа,
Благословенъ Ѐсѝ Господи.
Господи Боже мой, возвелѝчилсѧ Ѐсѝ ѕѣлѡ,
возвелѝчилсѧ Ѐсѝ ѕѣлѡ, возвелѝчилсѧ Ѐсѝ ѕѣлѡ.
Благословѐнъ, Благословѐнъ, Благословѐнъ Ѐсѝ Господи, Благословѐнъ Ѐсѝ Господи.
Творѧй Ангелы Своѧ духи, ѝ слугй Своѧ
пламень Ѻгненный, пламень Ѻгненный, ѝ слу
гй Своѧ пламень Ѻгненный.
Ѩкѡ возвеличишасѧ дѣла Твоѧ, Господи: всѧ
премудростїю сотворѝлъ Ѐсѝ, сотворѝлъ Ѐсѝ,
всѧ премудростїю сотворѝлъ Ѐсѝ.
Дӣвнадѣла,Дӣвна дѣла,
Дӣвна дѣла Твоѧ
Господи, Дӣвна дѣла Твоѧ Господи.

About Blagoslovì, dušè moę, Gospoda
This setting of a popular Psalm text, Blagoslovi, duše moja, Gospoda, is drawn from the rich tradition of Kievan chant. The words, in Church Slavonic, are a powerful invocation to God. The text expresses praise and awe at God's creation, calling the soul to bless the Lord. It speaks of God's wisdom in creating all things, including the angelic hosts portrayed as a flaming fire. The piece moves from the declaration of God's greatness to a plea for the wicked to be removed from the earth, concluding with a repeated call for the soul to bless the Lord and a doxology. Scored for TTBBB and ATTBB, this liturgical music offers a profound devotional experience.
