Credidi propter quod locutus sum, RV 605 (now RV Anh. 35b) by Antonio Vivaldi — Lyrics
Alleluja. Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meae.
Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi, et in diebus meis invocabo.
Circumdederunt me dolores mortis; et pericula inferni invenerunt me.
Tribulationem et dolorem inveni,
et nomen Domini invocavi: o Domine, libera animam meam.
Misericors Dominus et justus, et Deus noster miseretur.
Custodiens parvulos Dominus; humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.
Convertere, anima mea, in requiem tuam, quia Dominus benefecit tibi:
quia eripuit animam meam de morte, oculos meos a lacrimis, pedes meos a lapsu.
Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.

About Credidi propter quod locutus sum, RV 605 (now RV Anh. 35b)
Antonio Vivaldi's Credidi propter quod locutus sum, RV 605, is a sacred setting of psalm texts. The work is scored for SATTB voices and sung in Latin. It draws on liturgical traditions of the Vesper Psalms, with texts that express deep personal faith and supplication in times of distress. The music opens with a joyful Alleluia, then moves through passages of profound human suffering and cries for divine deliverance. The composer’s response to the text shifts from anguish to gratitude and trust, culminating in a serene affirmation of peace and divine goodness. This motet offers a powerful emotional journey, reflecting a common theme in sacred music of seeking solace and strength through faith.
