Energy by Timothy Swan — Lyrics
In finem, pro his qui immutabuntur, in tituli inscriptionem ipsi David, in doctrinam,
cum succendit Mesopotamiam Syriae et Sobal, et convertit Joab, et percussit Idumaeam in valle Salinarum duodecim millia.
Deus, repulisti nos, et destruxisti nos; iratus es,
et misertus est nobis.
Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam; sana contritiones ejus, quia commota est.
Ostendisti populo tuo dura; potasti nos vino compunctionis.
Dedisti metuentibus te significationem, ut fugiant a facie arcus;
ut liberentur dilecti tui.
Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.

About Energy
This setting by Timothy Swan is for SATB choir and sets a Latin text. The lyrical content reflects a journey from distress and divine anger to a plea for mercy and eventual salvation. The composer's approach likely aims to capture the dramatic shifts within the sacred text, moving from a sense of desolation to one of renewed hope and divine favour. The piece offers opportunities for expressive vocal colours and dynamic contrasts, mirroring the emotional arc of the psalm.
