Credidi propter quod locutus est by Francisco Valls — 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 propter quod locutus est
Francisco Valls' Credidi propter quod locutus est is a sacred work for ST.SATB choir and organ, sung in Latin. It is part of the Vesper Psalms tradition, a collection of psalms and other biblical texts sung at Vespers, one of the canonical hours of the Divine Office. The text, drawn from Psalm 116, expresses profound trust in God amidst suffering and deliverance. The composer sets the words of faith and personal testimony with rich, imitative polyphony, gradually building to moments of intense devotion. The soaring Alleluja sections underscore the text's message of hope and redemption, making it a powerful declaration of spiritual conviction.
