Herr, wer wird wohnen in deiner Hütten, SWV 466 by Heinrich Schütz — 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 Herr, wer wird wohnen in deiner Hütten, SWV 466
Heinrich Schütz's Herr, wer wird wohnen in deiner Hütten, SWV 466, opens with a searching musical question, musically exploring the psalm text that asks who is worthy to dwell in God's presence. The setting unfolds with considerable contrapuntal skill, as the voices of solo SATB and STAB weave together to depict the righteous qualities described in the psalm. Schütz, a master of Baroque sacred music, brings out the seriousness and gravity of the text, which outlines the virtues of honesty, integrity, and justice. The motet’s rich texture and its exploration of the biblical text offer a profound meditation on faith and righteousness, suitable for services or concerts.
