Deluded wretches I advis'd by Vincent Francis Novello — Lyrics
In finem, ne corrumpas. Psalmus cantici Asaph.
Confitebimur tibi, Deus, confitebimur,
et invocabimus nomen tuum; narrabimus mirabilia tua.
Cum accepero tempus, ego justitias judicabo.
Liquefacta est terra et omnes qui habitant in ea: ego confirmavi columnas ejus.
Dixi iniquis: Nolite inique agere: et delinquentibus: Nolite exaltare cornu:
nolite extollere in altum cornu vestrum; nolite loqui adversus Deum iniquitatem.

About Deluded wretches I advis'd
This setting of Psalm 75 (Vulg. 74), In finem, ne corrumpas, is suitable for general occasions or seasons of penitence. The composer Vincent Francis Novello sets the Latin text which speaks of God's judgment and power, reminding the wicked that pride comes before a fall and that God alone is the judge. The choir, singing SATB, proclaims confession and wonder at God's mighty deeds. The text also includes an English translation, making it accessible for a wider audience. The piece offers a reflective and powerful statement on divine justice and human accountability.
