Die nur vertrauend stellen, SWV 230 by Heinrich Schütz — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. Qui confidunt in Domino, sicut mons Sion: non commovebitur in aeternum, qui habitat
in Jerusalem. Montes in circuitu ejus; et Dominus in circuitu populi sui, ex hoc nunc
et usque in saeculum.
Quia non relinquet Dominus virgam peccatorum super sortem justorum:

About Die nur vertrauend stellen, SWV 230
Heinrich Schütz's Die nur vertrauend stellen, SWV 230, is a sacred work for SATB choir. The text, taken from Psalm 125 (124 in the Vulgate), expresses profound trust in divine protection. The Latin opening, "Qui confidunt in Domino," translates to "Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion." The German title means "Those who only trust." The composer powerfully sets the words which affirm that the righteous will not be moved, that God surrounds his people, and that the wicked will not ultimately prevail. Schütz, a pivotal figure in German music between the Renaissance and the Baroque, brings his characteristic dramatic intensity to this devotional text, exploring themes of steadfast faith and divine justice.
