Dominus illuminatio mea [The Lord is my light and my salvation] (Psalm 27: 1-2) – Tarquinio Merula

Psalm 27: 1-2 [Latin] – The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Dominus illuminatio mea et salus mea quem timebo. Dominus protector vitaemeae a quo trepidabo. Dum appropriant super me nucente. Ut edant carnes meas ut edant carnes meas. Qui tribulant me inimici mei ipsi infirmati sunt et ceciderunt.
