Souterliedeken- Psalm 4 by Jacobus Clemens non Papa — Lyrics
Den iiii. Psalm Hooghe te singhen Cum invocarem.
Nae die wyse. Het daghet in den oosten, het lichtet (overal)
Als ick riep met verlanghen
God hoorde al myn leyt
Wanneer my droefheyt heeft bevanghen
Ghi heere my troost verbreyt.
O Heer wilt myns ontfermen
End aenhoort myn gheclach.
Myn bidden, ende myn kermen
Wilt hooren nacht en dach.
Ghi mannen swaer van sinnen
Waer om yst u gherief
Dat ghi wilt ydelheyt beminnen
End hebben die loeghens lief ?
Bekent hoe God den sinen
Seer wonderlyck heeft ghedaen.
Hy hoort my tallen terminen
Wanneer ick hem roep aen.
Verschrict, en schoudt het quade

About Souterliedeken- Psalm 4
Clemens non Papa sets Psalm 4 as a sacred motet for STB or SAB voices in Dutch. The music opens with a sense of earnest supplication, the voices weaving together to express the text’s plea for divine intervention. As the psalm progresses, the music mirrors the shift from distress to confidence, reflecting the singer’s trust in God’s mercy. The composer’s skill is evident in the clarity of the setting, allowing the meaning of the words to shine through. This is a powerful and direct musical setting of a psalm that calls for reflection on God’s faithfulness and the need for righteous living, exploring themes of prayer, repentance, and ultimate trust in the divine.
