Exsultate Justi in Domino

Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla (1590-1664)

Original Text

English Translation

 

Exsultáte justi in Dómino:
rectos decet collaudátio.

Shout for joy in the Lord, all who love justice!
for praise is fitting from the right-hearted.

 

Confitémini Dóminoi in cíthera:
in psaltério decem chordárum psállite illi.

Give thanks to the Lord on the lyre,
sing his praises on the ten-stringed harp.

 

Cantáte ei cánticum novum:
bene psállite ei in vociferatióne.

Sing a new song to him;
sing well, and with a loud voice!

 

Quia rectum est verbum Dómini:
et ómnia ópera ejus in fide.

For the word of the Lord is true,
he is faithful in all his works.

 

Díliget misericórdiam et judícium:
misericórdia Dómini plena est terra.

He loves compassion and right judgment,
all creation abounds in his mercy.

 

Verbo Dómini cæli firmáti sunt:
et spíritus oris ejus omins virtus eórum.

By the word of the Lord the heavens were established;
by the breath of his mouth, all that they hold.


This piece was performed by the SFBC in A Candlelight Christmas from Spain and the New World on December 16, 2000.
