Live recording from the concert in November that I just got back!! This is only the very last section of a longer piece and to some extent the audience is supposed to hear it in context because it is very pretty and full of relief and consummation buuuut on the other hand. it is very pretty 🙂 you might like it.
The words are adapted from Psalm 5. Every other section in the full piece was from a poem by a woman, and while this psalm may not have been… It can still be ours.
I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy
Harken unto the voice of my cry, my King and my God
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning.
Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness
But thou wilt bless the righteous
With favour wilt thou compass her as with a shield.
