'''Description:''' This is a congratulatory motet. The Tenor I sings a motto (most probably the motto of the addressee): Confide et ama. (Trust and love.)
'''Description:''' Micyllus's ''Sylvarum libri quinque'' presents two poems under the title ''Confide et ama'' ("trust and love"), the motto of George of
Austria (1505–1557), illegitimate son of Emperor Maximilan I and Prince-Bishop of Liège. ''Confisus Domino'' is the first of them and was also set by [[Confisus Domino (Ioannes Pinchon)|Pinchon]] (whose setting is also included in ''Thesaurus musicus''). Lassus sets ''Confide et ama'' as an ostinato with varying note values, in Tenor 1. The item following Pinchon's setting in ''Thesaurus Musicus'' is Nicolas de Wismes's setting of the second poem, ''[[Vivere vis recte (Nicolas de Wismes)|Vivere vis recte]]'', which like Pinchon's and Lassus's pieces features the text ''Confide et ama'' as an ostinato. The first half of ''Vivere vis recte'' was also set by [[Vivere vis recte (Derrick Gerrarde)|Dyricke Gerarde]].

Confisus Domino tua pectora crede Tonanti
  omnis ut illius stet tua cura fide.
Nec metus aut rabies ab eo te separet ulla
  fracta licet toto corruat orbe salus.
 
Inde tuo si quis studio aut ope postulet uti
  debita cui rerum sors alimenta negat
Esse velis aliis talis tibi qualis es ipse
  et mala vicini damna putare tua.
Tempora dum praesens mortalia finiat aevum
  atque alio veniens nos levet aura polo
Maxima sic geminis dicta lex scripta tabellis
  a Domino Sinai tradita in arce jugi.
 
Tenor I:
Confide et ama.
