Britten: Deus in adjutorium meum intende (Psalm 70)

Benjamin Britten: Deus in adjutorium meum intende (Psalm 70). Composed circa 1945 for mixed chorus, SATB, a cappella. Britten Singers; Richard Hickox, conductor. DEUS IN ADJUTORIUM MEUM INTENDE, DOMINE AD ADJUVANDUM ME FESTINA. Confundantur et revereantur qui quaerunt animam meam. Avertantur retrorsum, et erubescant, Qui volunt mihi mala. Avertantur statim, erubescentes, Qui dicunt mihi: Euge. Exsultent et laetentur in te omnes qui quaerunt te, et dicant semper: Magnificetur Dominus: Qui diligunt salutare tuum. Ego vero egenus et pauper sum: Deus adjuva me. Adjutor meus et liberator meus es tu: Domine ne moreris. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. O GOD COME TO MY ASSISTANCE, O LORD MAKE HASTE TO HELP ME. Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul. Let them be turned backward, and put to confusion that wish me evil. Let them be turned at once, blushing for shame, who say to me: Well done.
