Faith in the Lord's Protection by William Ellison — Lyrics

In finem. Psalmus David. In Domino confido; quomodo dicitis animae meae: Transmigra in montem sicut passer? Quoniam ecce peccatores intenderunt arcum; paraverunt sagittas suas in pharetra, ut sagittent in obscuro rectos corde: quoniam quae perfecisti destruxerunt; justus autem, quid fecit? Dominus in templo sancto suo; Dominus in caelo sedes ejus.

About Faith in the Lord's Protection

This setting opens with a sense of gentle urgency, the voices weaving together in homophonic texture. The music reflects the text’s reliance on divine protection in the face of adversity. The Latin psalm text, from Psalm 11, speaks of confidence in the Lord, even when the wicked prepare to strike. The composer’s setting, for SATB choir, explores the contrast between the righteous and the unrighteous, culminating in the assurance of God’s justice and presence. The contrast between the original Latin and the English translation allows for a rich devotional experience, suitable for thoughtful contemplation.
