Cum invocarem by Ferdinando Lazzari — Lyrics
In finem, in carminibus. Psalmus David.
Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus iustitiae meae, in tribulatione dilatasti mihi.
Miserere mei, et exaudi orationem meam.
Filii hominum, usquequo gravi corde? ut quid diligitis vanitatem,
et quaeritis mendacium? [diapsalma]
Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum;
Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare; quae dicitis in cordibus vestris,

About Cum invocarem
This setting of the Latin text Cum invocarem is by Ferdinando Lazzari. Sung by a SATB choir, it is a sacred piece, falling into the genre of office hymns. The text, drawn from Psalm 4, speaks of divine protection and answered prayer. The psalmist implores God in times of distress, asserting faith in God's power to deliver and bring joy. The composer reflects the plea for mercy and the conviction that the Lord hears those who call upon Him. The music would suit occasions requiring solemn reflection and confident affirmation of faith, drawing on the rich tradition of sacred Latin chant.
