De profundis clamavi by Giulio Belli — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine;
Domine, exaudi vocem meam.
Fiant aures tuae intendentes in vocem deprecationis meae.

About De profundis clamavi
Giulio Belli's De profundis clamavi is a sacred motet for SATB choir, setting a Latin text from Psalm 129 (130). The words express a profound cry from the depths, invoking God's mercy and seeking deliverance from sin. The composer's setting unfolds with earnest devotion, reflecting the penitential nature of the psalm. The text speaks of waiting with hope for the Lord, trusting in His abundant mercy and redemption. This powerful prayer, sung here in its original Latin, offers a moving contemplation of human frailty and divine compassion, making it a poignant choice for liturgical settings or choral concerts seeking spiritual depth.
