Hear my prayer, O God, and let my supplication by Maurice Greene — Lyrics
Hear my Prayer, O God,
and let my supplication come before thee.
Plead thou my Cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me;
fight thou against them that fight against me.
Lay hand upon the Shield and Buckler,
stand up to help me.
Bring forth the Spear,
and stop the way against them that persecute me.
avenge thou my Cause, my God and my Lord.

About Hear my prayer, O God, and let my supplication
Maurice Greene's Hear my prayer, O God, and let my supplication is a sacred verse anthem for SATB choir. The text is a fervent plea for divine intervention, drawn from the Psalms. It begins with a direct invocation for God to hear the supplication and plead the singer's cause against adversaries. The music likely reflects the dramatic arc of the text, moving from earnest prayer to a declaration of confidence in God's strength to overcome enemies. The anthem concludes with a powerful affirmation of faith, grounded in the Lord God as the creator of heaven and earth, highlighting the tradition of English verse anthems that blend solo and choral passages to devotional ends.
