Cum invocarem by Vatroslav Lisinski — Lyrics
In finem, in carminibus. Psalmus David.
Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus iustitiae meae, in tribulatione dilatasti mihi.
Miserere mei, et exaudi orationem meam.
Filii hominum, usquequo gravi corde? ut quid diligitis vanitatem,
et quaeritis mendacium? [diapsalma]
Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum;
Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.

About Cum invocarem
Vatroslav Lisinski's setting of Cum invocarem draws on the rich tradition of sacred liturgical music. This SATB setting, featuring a prominent solo Soprano line, is sung in Latin, the historical language of the Western Church. The text, drawn from the Psalms, speaks of God's response to prayer amidst tribulation, urging listeners to trust in the Lord and to rejoice in His presence. Lisinski crafts a powerful and devotional work, suitable for liturgical occasions or as a moving concert piece. The interplay between the solo voice and the choir allows for a profound exploration of the text's themes of supplication and divine assurance.
