Cum invocarem by Francisco Valls — 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.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare; quae dicitis in cordibus vestris,

About Cum invocarem
Francisco Valls sets a powerful Latin text for double choir (SATB.SATB), drawn from Psalm 4, verses 2-8. The words speak of calling on God in times of trouble, and of finding joy and light through faith. The psalmist implores divine mercy, questioning the vanity and falsehood that ensnares the hearts of men. The motet unfolds with a plea for comfort, culminating in the joyous affirmation that the Lord has heard the prayer and granted gladness. Valls's setting likely offers a rich sonic landscape, appropriate for significant liturgical occasions or concert programming.
