Dominus in Sion magnus by Francesco Stivori — Lyrics
Psalmus ipsi David. Dominus regnavit: irascantur populi;
qui sedet super cherubim: moveatur terra.
Dominus in Sion magnus, et excelsus super omnes populos.
Confiteantur nomini tuo magno, quoniam terribile et sanctum est,
et honor regis judicium diligit. Tu parasti directiones;
judicium et justitiam in Jacob tu fecisti.
Exaltate Dominum Deum nostrum, et adorate scabellum pedum ejus, quoniam sanctum est.
Moyses et Aaron in sacerdotibus ejus, et Samuel inter eos qui invocant nomen ejus:

About Dominus in Sion magnus
This setting of Psalm 99 by Francesco Stivori is suited for a special occasion or service. The text, drawn from a psalm proclaiming God's might and sovereignty, speaks of His greatness and holiness. The composer uses a grand SAATTBB voicing to convey the majesty of the words, which call for awe and praise. It is a motet that powerfully declares the divine rule, suitable for a choir seeking to present a significant sacred work. The Latin text itself is richly devotional and calls for exaltation of the Lord our God.
