Exaltabo te, Deus meus rex by Noel Bauldeweyn — Lyrics
Laudatio ipsi David. Exaltabo te, Deus meus rex, et benedicam nomini tuo in saeculum,
et in saeculum saeculi.
Per singulos dies benedicam tibi, et laudabo nomen tuum in saeculum, et in saeculum saeculi.
Magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis, et magnitudinis ejus non est finis.
Generatio et generatio laudabit opera tua, et potentiam tuam pronuntiabunt.
Magnificentiam gloriae sanctitatis tuae loquentur, et mirabilia tua narrabunt.
Et virtutem terribilium tuorum dicent, et magnitudinem tuam narrabunt.
Memoriam abundantiae suavitatis tuae eructabunt, et justitia tua exsultabunt.
Miserator et misericors Dominus: patiens, et multum misericors.
Suavis Dominus universis, et miserationes ejus super omnia opera ejus.
Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnia opera tua, et sancti tui benedicant tibi.
Gloriam regni tui dicent, et potentiam tuam loquentur:

About Exaltabo te, Deus meus rex
This sacred motet for SATB voices sets a Latin text that is a psalm of praise, likely intended for general liturgical use. Noel Bauldeweyn crafts a powerful musical setting for these words of exaltation, focusing on the grandeur and unending nature of God's might. The composer's skill is evident in how the music rises to meet the text's declarations of praise, with the four voice parts weaving together to create a rich and resonant sound. It is a piece that allows a choir to powerfully convey the text's message of divine greatness and unending mercy, offering a substantial yet accessible choral experience.
