Cum invocarem te by Nobuaki Izawa — 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 te
Nobuaki Izawa sets a text from Psalm 4 from the Vulgate, a passage often used as a communion hymn. The composer’s SATB setting in Latin offers a rich musical exploration of the psalmist’s plea for divine aid and trust in God’s righteousness. The text expresses deep personal supplication, acknowledging God’s justice and mercy, and contrasting the vanity of worldly pursuits with the joy found in God’s presence. Izawa’s motet, written for unaccompanied choir, aims to capture the spiritual depth and devotional character of this ancient scripture, providing a contemplative yet powerful addition to sacred choral repertoire.
