In the Lord put I my trust (Psalm 11) by Jennifer Bastable — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus David.
In Domino confido; quomodo dicitis animae meae: Transmigra in montem sicut passer?
Quoniam ecce peccatores intenderunt arcum; paraverunt sagittas suas in pharetra,
ut sagittent in obscuro rectos corde:
quoniam quae perfecisti destruxerunt; justus autem, quid fecit?
Dominus in templo sancto suo; Dominus in caelo sedes ejus.

About In the Lord put I my trust (Psalm 11)
This stirring anthem sets Psalm 11, a text that wrestles with the nature of justice and God's faithfulness amidst wickedness. The composer Jennifer Bastable crafts a powerful setting for SSATB or SMzATB voices. Opening with a direct plea of trust in the Lord, the music navigates the psalm's contrasting moods, from anxieties about the wicked to a firm assertion of God's eternal righteousness and presence in his holy temple. The text is sung in both its original Latin and an English translation, offering a rich liturgical or concert experience. This piece would be particularly fitting for services seeking to explore themes of faith, perseverance, and divine justice.
