Dominus regit me by Philippe Rogier — Lyrics
Psalmus David. Dominus regit me, et nihil mihi deerit:
in loco pascuae, ibi me collocavit. Super aquam refectionis educavit me;
animam meam convertit. Deduxit me super semitas justitiae propter nomen suum.

About Dominus regit me
Philippe Rogier was a notable composer of the Spanish Renaissance. His motet Dominus regit me is written for SAATB voices and is set in Latin. The text is drawn from Psalm 23, a psalm that expresses profound trust in God's guidance and protection. The music reflects the comforting words, depicting the shepherd leading his flock through verdant pastures and still waters, and assuring the singer that even in the face of death, divine presence offers solace and peace. The motet beautifully captures the imagery of a prepared table and an overflowing cup, celebrating God's abundant mercy and the promise of dwelling in His house forever.
