Ad Dominum cum tribularer by Antonio Lotti — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. Ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi, et exaudivit me.
Domine, libera animam meam a labiis iniquis et a lingua dolosa.
Quid detur tibi, aut quid apponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam?
Sagittae potentis acutae, cum carbonibus desolatoriis.
Heu mihi, quia incolatus meus prolongatus est! habitavi cum habitantibus

About Ad Dominum cum tribularer
The psalmist cries out to God in distress, lamenting his prolonged exile and the hostility he faces from those who hate peace. This setting of Psalm 119 verses 1-7 in Latin captures the plea for deliverance from deceitful lips and a treacherous tongue. Antonio Lotti's motet for SATB choir offers a powerful musical expression of this deeply personal and urgent prayer. The rich harmonies and contrapuntal writing typical of Lotti's sacred music lend a profound emotional weight to the text, making it a moving choice for experienced choirs seeking to convey spiritual anguish and hope.
