Deus misereatur in B flat, Z 230/10 by Henry Purcell — 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 Deus misereatur in B flat, Z 230/10
Henry Purcell's Deus misereatur in B flat, Z 230/10, is a setting of Psalm 67, sung as part of the Evening Canticles. This sacred work, scored for SSAATB, blends Latin and English texts. The composer's masterful treatment of the psalm's plea for divine mercy and guidance highlights its universal message of God's saving grace being known to all nations. The music reflects the text's movement from supplication to joyful praise and thanksgiving, culminating in a blessing for all the earth to fear God. It is a rich and expressive addition to the Anglican evening service.
