Conserva me Domine by Ivo de Vento — Lyrics
Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
Multiplicatae sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt.
Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus, nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.
Dominus pars haereditatis meae, et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues haereditatem meam mihi.
Funes ceciderunt mihi in praeclaris; etenim haereditas mea praeclara est mihi.

About Conserva me Domine
Ivo de Vento's motet Conserva me Domine is a sacred work for SAATB voices. The Latin text, drawn from Psalm 16, expresses profound trust in God. The opening lines, 'Save me, O God, for I have put my trust in thee,' establish a plea for divine protection. The music reflects the text's devotional nature, exploring themes of reliance on the Lord as one's inheritance and portion. Vento's setting emphasizes the spiritual journey described in the psalm, where the faithful acknowledge God's sufficiency and seek His constant guidance. This motet offers a rich polyphonic setting of a deeply personal psalm, suitable for liturgical or concert use.
