Calvary New by James P. Carrell — Lyrics
mm
In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur. David.
Salvum me fac, Deus,
quoniam intraverunt aquae usque ad animam meam.
Infixus sum in limo profundi et non est substantia.
Veni in altitudinem maris, et tempestas demersit me.
Laboravi clamans, raucae factae sunt fauces meae;
defecerunt oculi mei, dum spero in Deum meum.
Multiplicati sunt super capillos capitis mei qui oderunt me gratis.
Confortati sunt qui persecuti sunt me inimici mei injuste;
quae non rapui, tunc exsolvebam.
Deus, tu scis insipientiam meam;
et delicta mea a te non sunt abscondita.
Non erubescant in me qui exspectant te, Domine, Domine virtutum;
non confundantur super me qui quaerunt te, Deus Israël.
Quoniam propter te sustinui opprobrium;
operuit confusio faciem meam.
Extraneus factus sum fratribus meis,
et peregrinus filiis matris meae.
Quoniam zelus domus tuae comedit me,
et opprobria exprobrantium tibi ceciderunt super me.
Et operui in jejunio animam meam,
et factum est in opprobrium mihi.
Et posui vestimentum meum cilicium;

About Calvary New
This setting of Psalm 69, In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur, begins with a Latin text from the Old Testament, reflecting a plea for deliverance from enemies and overwhelming troubles. The composer James P. Carrell has crafted a powerful SATB arrangement that builds on the raw emotion of the words. The work includes sections in both Latin and English, allowing for a profound expression of supplication and eventual trust in God, making it suitable for Lenten or penitential services. The contrasting languages and the dramatic arc of the text offer a rich opportunity for choral interpretation and devotional engagement.
