I strive each action to approve 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 strive each action to approve
William Bennett’s setting of I strive each action to approve offers a devotional reflection on faith and divine guidance. The text, originally in Latin, draws from Psalm 16, expressing a deep trust in God as a source of strength and inheritance. The composer crafts an SATB arrangement that, while rooted in a sacred context, resonates with a universally human plea for steadfastness and inner peace. The music aims to capture the introspective and hopeful nature of the words, providing a contemplative experience for both choir and listeners. This piece is suitable for services or concerts where reflection on spiritual resilience is desired.
