(Photo credit: Wikipedia) Psalm 40:1-4 [Latin] 1 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. 4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. — Expectans expectavi Dominum, from Symphony of Psalms (1930) by Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) Stravinsky - Symphony of Psalms (2/3): II.
