In God the Lord I put my trust by Thomas Ravenscroft — 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 In God the Lord I put my trust
A powerful sacred work for SATB choir, Thomas Ravenscroft's In God the Lord I put my trust is ideally suited for Lenten or penitential services. The text, based on Psalm 11, shifts from a contemplation of the righteous suffering persecution at the hands of sinners to a confident assertion of God's ultimate justice from his heavenly throne. The Latin original, a setting of Psalm 11, is juxtaposed with an English translation, allowing for a rich devotional experience. Ravenscroft's setting likely offers a robust and resonant musical setting that reflects the text's journey from fear to unwavering faith, making it a compelling choice for church choirs.
