His “Exsultate Deo adjutori” is an exuberantly praiseful setting of the opening lines of Psalm 81. —— TEXT & TRANSLATION Exultate Deo adjutori nostro. Alleluia. Jubilate Deo Jacob. Alleluia. (Alleluia Verse for the 11th Sunday after Pentecost; Psalms 81:1) Rejoice greatly to God our helper. Alleluia. Shout for joy to the God of Jacob.
