Celuy par qui lumier habonde, Psalme XXVII by Didier Lupi second — Lyrics
Celuy par qui lumier habonde
En ce monde,
Est mon salut et mon pouuoir:
C'est ma vie, mon asseurance,
Esperance.
De qui doyie donc craincte auoir?
2 Quand tous mes enemis se vantent,
Et presentent
Pour m'enlourir et oultrager,
Tu les mets (par ta bonté digne)
En ruyne,
Ne pouans l'ame endommager.
3 alors que sera leur armée
Animée
Contre moy, crainte ie n'auray,
Et quand il fauldra qu'on ma baille
La bataille,
Adoneq en seurté ie seray.
4 Et si ie y meurs, faueur plus grande
Ne demande:
Car d'un seul poinct ay prié Dieu:

About Celuy par qui lumier habonde, Psalme XXVII
Didier Lupi second sets a French translation of Psalm 27, a prayer of trust in God in the face of enemies. The text opens with a confident assertion of God as light, salvation, and power, dispelling all fear. It moves through vivid imagery of adversaries threatening the singer, yet emphasizes God’s protection and ultimate victory over them. The psalmist expresses a profound desire to dwell in God’s tabernacle, finding security and refuge there. This four-part setting for SATB voices offers a powerful musical setting of these profound words of faith and deliverance. The text’s focus on divine protection and the longing for God’s presence makes it a moving expression of spiritual confidence.
