In trouble and adversitie by John Dowland — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus David.
Exaudiat te Dominus in die tribulationis; protegat te nomen Dei Iacob.
Mittat tibi auxilium de sancto, et de Sion tueatur te.
Memor sit omnis sacrificii tui, et holocaustum tuum pingue fiat.
Tribuat tibi secundum cor tuum, et omne consilium tuum confirmet.

About In trouble and adversitie
John Dowland’s In trouble and adversitie is a potent setting of Psalm 20, a prayer for God’s protection and favour, here sung in its original Latin. The text is a solemn plea for divine aid, encompassing petitions for strength, guidance, and ultimate victory. Dowland’s STTB arrangement brings a rich, resonant sound to this sacred text, suitable for occasions of solemnity or seeking divine comfort. The music reflects the gravity of the words, with moments of intense supplication and exultant praise, making it a profound liturgical or concert work.
