Adiutor meus esto Deus by Stefano Felis — Lyrics
Psalmus David, priusquam liniretur. Dominus illuminatio mea et salus mea: quem timebo?
Dominus protector vitae meae: a quo trepidabo?
Dum appropiant super me nocentes ut edant carnes meas, qui tribulant me inimici mei, ipsi
infirmati sunt et ceciderunt.
Si consistant adversum me castra, non timebit cor meum; si exsurgat adversum me praelium, in hoc ego sperabo.
Unam petii a Domino, hanc requiram, ut inhabitem in domo Domini omnibus diebus vitae meae; ut videam voluptatem Domini, et visitem templum ejus.
Quoniam abscondit me in tabernaculo suo; in die malorum abscondito me in tabernaculi sui.
In petra exaltavit me, et nunc exaltavit caput meum super inimicos meos. Circuivi,
et immolavi in tabernaculo ejus hostiam vociferationis;
cantabo, et psalmum dicam Domino.

Stefano Felis sets this powerful psalm for SATTB choir, offering a rich sonic palette to convey the spiritual journey from fear to steadfast hope. The Latin text, drawing from the Psalms, lends itself to devotional settings, making this a suitable choice for services or concerts focused on themes of faith, deliverance, and divine assurance. Its polyphonic texture allows for expressive declamation of the scriptural words.
