Testo Psalm 40: 1-3 Igor Stravinsky
Latin:
Expectans expectavi Dominum,
et intendit mihi.
Et exaudivit preces meas,
et eduxit me de lacu miseriae et de luto faecis.
Et statuit super petram pedes meos,
et direxit gressus meos.
Et immisit in os meum canticum novum,
carmen Deo nostro.
Videbunt multi, et timebunt,
et sperabunt in Domino.
English translation:
I waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
He drew me up from the desolate pit,
out of the miry bog,
And set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the Lord.
