Clamavit ad me by Melchior Franck — Lyrics
Laus cantici David. Qui habitat in adjutorio Altissimi, in protectione Dei caeli commorabitur.
Dicet Domino: Susceptor meus es tu, et refugium meum; Deus meus, sperabo in eum.
Quoniam ipse liberavit me de laqueo venantium, et a verbo aspero.
Scapulis suis obumbrabit tibi, et sub pennis ejus sperabis.
Scuto circumdabit te veritas ejus:
non timebis a timore nocturno;
a sagitta volante in die,
a negotio perambulante in tenebris, ab incursu, et daemonio meridiano.
Cadent a latere tuo mille, et decem millia a dextris tuis; ad te autem non appropinquabit.
Verumtamen oculis tuis considerabis, et retributionem peccatorum videbis.

About Clamavit ad me
Melchior Franck's Clamavit ad me is a sacred setting for SATB choir, sung in Latin. The text, drawn from Psalm 91, speaks of God's protection for those who dwell in His shelter, assuring them that no harm will befall them. The music expresses profound trust and faith, painting a vivid picture of divine safeguarding against all forms of danger, whether seen or unseen. This motet, with its resonant harmonic language, offers a powerful devotional experience, suitable for liturgical settings or concerts where the faithful find comfort and strength in the assurance of divine presence.
