De profundis, Op.4,16 by Joseph Joachim Benedikt Münster — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine;
Domine, exaudi vocem meam.
Fiant aures tuae intendentes in vocem deprecationis meae.
Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine, Domine, quis sustinebit?

About De profundis, Op.4,16
Joseph Joachim Benedikt Münster's De Profundis, Op.4,16, is a sacred setting of Psalm 130, a text traditionally used for Vespers. The SATB choir sings in Latin, expressing the psalmist's plea from the depths of despair to God's mercy and redemption. The music vividly portrays the journey from lamentation to hope, as the text moves from 'Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord' through the anticipation of forgiveness and salvation. This composition offers a profound musical reflection on penitence and trust in divine providence.
