Wisdom 3:1-3 [Latin]

1 Justorum autem animae in manu Dei sunt, et non tanget illos tormentum mortis.

2 Visi sunt oculis insipientium mori, et aestimata est afflictio exitus illorum,

3 et quod a nobis est iter exterminium; illi autem sunt in pace:

–
1 The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God,
    and no torment shall touch them.
2 They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead;
    and their passing away was thought an affliction
3     and their going forth from us, utter destruction.
But they are in peace.

Justorum animae, from Gradualia I, no. 31 (1605), composed by William Byrd (1539/40-1623)

Psalm 48:9-10,1 [Latin]

9 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

1 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
