Domine Deus by Moritz Brosig — Lyrics
In finem, pro torcularibus. Psalmus David.
Domine, Dominus noster, quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra! quoniam elevata est magnificentia tua super caelos.
Ex ore infantium et lactentium perfecisti laudem propter inimicos tuos,
ut destruas inimicum et ultorem.
Quoniam videbo caelos tuos,opera digitorum tuorum, lunam et stellas
quae tu fundasti.
Quid est homo, quod memor es eius? aut filius hominis, quoniam visitas eum?

About Domine Deus
This setting of Psalm 8, Domine Deus, is suitable for a range of liturgical occasions. The text exalts God's name and his creation, marveling at the magnificence of the heavens and the lowliness of man, yet also his exalted position. Moritz Brosig's motet is written for SATB choir and sets the Latin text with a devotional spirit. The composer's setting emphasizes the awe-inspiring nature of the psalm's message, from the praise of infants to the contemplation of God's dominion over all things. This piece offers a profound musical reflection on humanity's place within the divine order.
