Cantabo Domino by Nobuaki Izawa — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus David. Usquequo, Domine, oblivisceris me in finem? usquequo avertis faciem tuam a me?
quamdiu ponam consilia in anima mea; dolorem in corde meo per diem?
usquequo exaltabitur inimicus meus super me?
Respice, et exaudi me, Domine Deus meus. Illumina oculos meos, ne umquam obdormiam in morte;

About Cantabo Domino
Cantabo Domino unfolds with a rich, polyphonic texture for SATB choir, drawing its text from Psalm 13. Nobuaki Izawa sets this Latin psalm with a reflective and devotional character, suitable for communion or general sacred use. The music captures the psalm's journey from lament and supplication to a powerful declaration of trust and praise. The composer's setting highlights the contrast between the psalmist's distress and his ultimate faith in God's mercy, culminating in the joyful affirmation of singing to the Lord. This motet offers a profound musical meditation on themes of endurance, divine faithfulness, and the exultation found in salvation.
