I set the Lord still in my sight by Thomas Clark — 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 set the Lord still in my sight
Thomas Clark sets a Latin text from Psalm 15 for SATB choir. The opening lines, "Conservame, Domine, quoniam speravi in te" (Preserve me, O God, for in thee do I put my trust), speak of unwavering faith and hope in God's protection. Clark's setting reflects the spiritual and devotional nature of this psalm, offering a contemplative musical experience. The English translation of the title, "I set the Lord still in my sight," further emphasizes the theme of constant reliance on divine guidance. This sacred work is suitable for choirs looking to explore repertoire rooted in psalmody, providing a profound and reflective musical setting.
