I will recount by Roger Petrich — Lyrics
In finem, pro occultis filii. Psalmus David.
Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo; narrabo omnia mirabilia tua.
Laetabor et exsultabo in te; psallam nomini tuo, Altissime.
In convertendo inimicum meum retrorsum; infirmabuntur, et peribunt a facie tua.
Quoniam fecisti judicium meum et causam meam; sedisti super thronum, qui judicas justitiam.
Increpasti gentes, et periit impius: nomen eorum delesti in aeternum,
et in saeculum saeculi.
Inimici defecerunt frameae in finem, et civitates eorum
destruxisti. Periit memoria eorum cum sonitu;
et Dominus in aeternum permanet. Paravit in judicio thronum suum,
et ipse judicabit orbem terrae in aequitate: judicabit populos in justitia.
Et factus est Dominus refugium pauperi; adjutor in opportunitatibus, in tribulatione.
Et sperent in te qui noverunt nomen tuum,
quoniam non dereliquisti quaerentes te, Domine.

About I will recount
Roger Petrich's I Will Recount is a powerful setting for SATB choir of a Latin text, interspersed with English. The composer draws upon the rich tradition of sacred antiphonal music, providing a compelling musical interpretation of the psalm's themes of divine justice and praise. The work opens with the Latin phrase "Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo" (I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart), setting a tone of profound gratitude and awe. The music then unfolds to explore the psalm's narrative of God's judgment and enduring presence, offering a significant and engaging challenge for experienced choirs. The juxtaposition of Latin and English texts enhances the dramatic and devotional character of this significant sacred work.
