Confitebor tibi Domine by Francisco Valls — Lyrics
Ipsi David. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, quoniam audisti verba oris mei.
In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi;
adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitebor nomini tuo: super misericordia tua et veritate tua; quoniam magnificasti super omne, nomen sanctum tuum.
In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me; multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.
Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terrae, quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui.
Et cantent in viis Domini, quoniam magna est gloria Domini;
quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit, et alta

About Confitebor tibi Domine
This setting of Psalm 138 by Francisco Valls opens with a declaration of praise to God, echoing David. The text speaks of singing before the angels, praying towards the holy temple, and confessing God's name, mercy, and truth. It acknowledges God's greatness and the exultation of earthly kings who have heard His words. The composer's setting for SA.SATB voices in Latin captures the devotional spirit of the Vesper Psalms, reflecting on God's power to sustain through tribulation and deliver from enemies. It is a rich, sacred work for a choir seeking to express profound gratitude and reliance on divine providence.
