I have set God alway before me by William Bennett — Lyrics
Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
Multiplicatae sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt.
Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus, nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.
Dominus pars haereditatis meae, et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues haereditatem meam mihi.
Funes ceciderunt mihi in praeclaris; etenim haereditas mea praeclara est mihi.

About I have set God alway before me
William Bennett composed this anthem for SATB choir. The text, taken from Psalm 16, is set in both Latin and English. The chosen verses express a profound trust in God, with the singer declaring God as their portion and inheritance, and finding solace in divine guidance. The composer has crafted a setting that reflects this deep spiritual conviction, providing a rich musical interpretation of the sacred text. This anthem is suitable for choirs seeking to explore devotional music with a dual-language element.
