Entre io tutto ripongo (psalm 10) by Benedetto Marcello — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus David.
In Domino confido; quomodo dicitis animae meae: Transmigra in montem sicut passer?
Quoniam ecce peccatores intenderunt arcum; paraverunt sagittas suas in pharetra,
ut sagittent in obscuro rectos corde:
quoniam quae perfecisti destruxerunt; justus autem, quid fecit?
Dominus in templo sancto suo; Dominus in caelo sedes ejus.

About Entre io tutto ripongo (psalm 10)
Benedetto Marcello's setting of Psalm 10 is a compelling work for SATB choir, originally conceived for Vespers. The text, drawn from scripture, grapples with themes of faith and righteousness amidst the machinations of the wicked. Marcello's musical setting unfolds with a clear, declamatory style, allowing the sacred text to resonate. The interplay between the four vocal parts offers opportunities for nuanced expression, particularly as the psalm moves from depictions of deceit and persecution to the ultimate trust in God's justice and divine presence. This is a work that speaks directly to the text's spiritual depth, suitable for services or concerts where the choir can explore its profound message.
