I glory in the word of God by John Arnold — Lyrics
In finem, pro populo qui a sanctis longe factus est. David in tituli inscriptionem,
cum tenuerunt eum Allophyli in Geth.
Miserere mei, Deus, quoniam conculcavit me homo; tota die impugnans, tribulavit me.
Conculcaverunt me inimici mei tota die, quoniam multi bellantes adversum me.
Ab altitudine
diei timebo: ego vero in te sperabo.
In Deo laudabo sermones meos; in Deo speravi: non timebo
quid faciat mihi caro.
Tota die verba mea execrabantur; adversum me omnes cogitationes eorum in malum.
Inhabitabunt, et abscondent; ipsi calcaneum meum observabunt. Sicut sustinuerunt animam meam,

About I glory in the word of God
I glory in the word of God, is a powerful SATB setting of a deeply spiritual text that speaks of reliance on divine strength in the face of adversity. The Latin lyrics, drawn from Psalm 55, express profound personal suffering and betrayal, yet pivot towards unwavering faith and the hope found in God's promises. The composer John Arnold masterfully crafts the vocal lines to convey the text’s emotional journey, from despair to resolute confidence. This sacred hymn, suitable for choir and congregation alike, offers a resonant exploration of spiritual resilience and the enduring power of faith, bridging the ancient text with a compelling musical expression.
