Parts of the 119th Psalm. (Lyrics of Cantus and Tenor parts)

1 Beati immaculati in via, qui ambulant in lege Domini.
2 Beati qui scrutantur testimonia ejus; in toto corde exquirunt eum.

5 Utinam dirigantur viae meae ad custodiendas justificationes tuas.
6 Tunc non confundar, cum perspexero in omnibus mandatis tuis.

12 Benedictus es, Domine; doce me justificationes tuas.
35 Deduc me in semitam mandatorum tuorum, quia ipsam volui.

36 Inclina cor meum in testimonia tua, et non in avaritiam.
37 Averte oculos meos, ne videant vanitatem; in via tua vivifica me.

171 Eructabunt labia mea hymnum, cum docueris me justificationes tuas.
175 Vivet anima mea, et laudabit te, et judicia tua adjuvabunt me.

Lyrics of Altus part:

Vivat, vivat, vivat, vivat Ioannes Frederich: Elector & dux Saxorum:
Defensor veri dogmatis: pacisque custos pervigil:
Vivat per omne seculum.

Lyrics of Bassus part:

Vive Lutherus: Vive Melanton: Vivite nostrae, Lumina terrae:
Charaque Christo Pectora: per vos, Inclyta nobis Dogmata Christi,
Reddita: vestro Munere: pulsis Nubibus atris: Prodiit ortu,
Candidiore Dogmata salutis: vivite longos Nestoris annos. Amen.
