Credidi by Giuseppe Belloni — Lyrics
Alleluja. Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meae.
Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi, et in diebus meis invocabo.
Circumdederunt me dolores mortis; et pericula inferni invenerunt me.
Tribulationem et dolorem inveni,
et nomen Domini invocavi: o Domine, libera animam meam.
Misericors Dominus et justus, et Deus noster miseretur.
Custodiens parvulos Dominus; humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.
Convertere, anima mea, in requiem tuam, quia Dominus benefecit tibi:
quia eripuit animam meam de morte, oculos meos a lacrimis, pedes meos a lapsu.
Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.

About Credidi
This setting of the Credidi psalm text, traditionally sung at Vespers, offers a powerful reflection on faith and human frailty. The Latin words express a journey from doubt and distress to a renewed trust in God's mercy and deliverance. Giuseppe Belloni's SATTB arrangement provides rich harmonic opportunities for a choir to explore the text's emotional depth, from the initial cry of 'Credidi' (I believed) through moments of profound humility and ultimately to confident praise. It is suitable for services during penitential seasons or any occasion that calls for a profound expression of spiritual conviction and reliance on divine comfort.
