In virtute tua by Orazio Tarditi — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus David.
Domine, in virtute tua laetabitur rex, et super salutare tuum exsultabit vehementer.
Desiderium cordis ejus tribuisti ei, et voluntate labiorum ejus non fraudasti eum.
Quoniam praevenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis; posuisti in capite ejus coronam de lapide pretioso.
Vitam petiit a te, et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum, in saeculum, et in saeculum saeculi.
Magna est gloria ejus in salutari tuo; gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum.
Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in saeculum saeculi; laetificabis eum in gaudio
cum vultu tuo.
Quoniam rex sperat in Domino, et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur.
