Hear, O Lord by Jennifer Bastable — Lyrics
Psalmus cantici, in dedicatione domus David.
Exaltabo te, Domine, quoniam suscepisti me, nec delectasti inimicos meos super me.
Domine Deus meus, clamavi ad te, et sanasti me.
Domine, eduxisti ab inferno animam meam; salvasti me a descendentibus in lacum.
Psallite Domino, sancti ejus; et confitemini memoriae
sanctitatis ejus.
Quoniam ira in indignatione ejus, et vita in voluntate ejus:
ad vesperum demorabitur fletus, et ad matutinum laetitia.
Ego autem dixi in abundantia mea: Non movebor in æternum.

About Hear, O Lord
This setting of Psalm 30 opens with an outpouring of gratitude to God for deliverance from enemies and from the depths of the grave. The text, drawn from the Latin Vulgate, moves through seasons of distress and joy, ultimately affirming trust in God's will. Jennifer Bastable sets this powerful text for SATB choir, weaving together Latin and English phrases to create a compelling sacred anthem. The music reflects the psalm's journey from cries for help to triumphant praise, offering a rich and emotionally resonant experience for both choir and listeners.
