Desiderium animae ejus by Mikolaj Zielenski — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus David.
Domine, in virtute tua laetabitur rex, et super salutare tuum exsultabit vehementer.
Desiderium cordis ejus tribuisti ei, et voluntate labiorum ejus non fraudasti eum.
Quoniam praevenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis; posuisti in capite ejus coronam de lapide pretioso.
Vitam petiit a te, et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum, in saeculum, et in saeculum saeculi.
Magna est gloria ejus in salutari tuo; gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum.
Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in saeculum saeculi; laetificabis eum in gaudio
cum vultu tuo.
Quoniam rex sperat in Domino, et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur.

About Desiderium animae ejus
Mikołaj Zieliński composed Desiderium animae ejus for double SATB choir, a setting in Latin of verses from Psalm 21 (20 in the Vulgate numbering). The text speaks of the king's joy and exultation in God's salvation, attributing his greatness and length of days to divine favour. It describes God crowning the king with precious stones and granting him unending life and glory. The psalm expresses trust in the Lord's mercy and anticipates victory over enemies. This sacred liturgical music captures the triumphant and supplicatory nature of the psalm, offering a rich choral experience for a large choir.
