C 20 - Psaume 39 by Remi Studer — Lyrics
Seigneur, viens vite à mon secours, Seigneur, à mon secours !
1. D’un grand espoir,
j’espérais le Seigneur :
il s’est penché vers moi
pour entendre mon cri.
2. Il m’a tiré de l’horreur du gouffre,
de la vase et de la boue ;
il m’a fait reprendre pied sur le roc,
il a raffermi mes pas.

About C 20 - Psaume 39
Remi Studer's C 20 is a setting of Psalm 39 for SATB voices, sung in French. This sacred work follows the responsorial psalm tradition, where a solo or group leader sings verses that are answered by a choir or congregation. The text opens with a plea for help, "Seigneur, viens vite à mon secours!" (Lord, come quickly to my aid!).
The psalm then develops themes of hope and deliverance, describing how God lifts the singer out of a pit of despair and places them on solid ground. It speaks of a new song of praise being put into the singer's mouth, a testament to God's power and faithfulness, prompting others to believe. The piece concludes with a renewed prayer for divine assistance, reflecting the profound personal connection between the supplicant and God.
