The motto reminds us that St Mary’s, like the University, is a place of illumination, a place where we are invited to search for the truth. The Psalm speaks of our confidence in God, who is the source of all truth. The Psalmist also recognises that our commitment to the truth can sometimes lead to tension and hostility, to argument and dispute.
In Latin, it is known as "Dominus illuminatio mea". The psalm forms a regular part of Jewish, Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and Nonconformist Protestant liturgies. It has been set to music by Marc-Antoine Charpentier and Frances Allitsen among others.
