Domine quis habitabit by Giacomo Finetti — Lyrics
Canticum David. Domine, quis habitabit in tabernaculo tuo?
aut quis requiescet in monte sancto tuo?
Qui ingreditur sine macula, et operatur iustitiam;
qui loquitur veritatem in corde suo:
qui non egit dolum in lingua sua, nec fecit proximo suo malum,
et opprobrium non accepit adversus proximos suos.

About Domine quis habitabit
This motet is a setting of Psalm 15, presented here for a solo soprano voice. The text, a Canticum David, is a meditation on the qualities of a righteous person, one who is pure of heart and deed, who speaks truth, shuns evil, and honors God. It asks the profound question: "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?" and answers it with a description of the blameless individual who lives justly and truthfully. Finetti's setting would be appropriate for liturgical use or as a reflective solo recital piece, offering a devotional exploration of spiritual integrity and divine favor.
