Deduc me Domine by Jean Courtois — Lyrics
Oratio ipsi David. Inclina, Domine, aurem tuam et exaudi me, quoniam inops et pauper sum ego.
Custodi animam meam, quoniam sanctus sum; salvum fac servum tuum, Deus meus,
sperantem in te.
Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam ad te clamavi tota die;
laetifica animam servi tui, quoniam ad te, Domine, animam meam levavi.
Quoniam tu, Domine, suavis et mitis, et multae misericordiae omnibus invocantibus te.
Auribus percipe, Domine, orationem meam, et intende voci deprecationis meae.
In die tribulationis meae clamavi ad te, quia exaudisti me.
Non est similis tui in diis, Domine,
et non est secundum opera tua.
Omnes gentes quascumque fecisti venient, et adorabunt coram te, Domine, et
glorificabunt nomen tuum.
Quoniam magnus es tu, et faciens mirabilia; tu es Deus solus.

About Deduc me Domine
This sacred motet by Jean Courtois for three voices (SAT) sets a Latin text drawn from the Psalms. The music opens with a direct, declamatory style, reflecting the pleading nature of the opening words, 'Inclina, Domine, aurem tuam' ('Incline, O Lord, thine ear'). The composer crafts a rich texture through the interplay of the three voices, creating moments of both profound devotion and hopeful supplication. The motet moves through the text, urging God's attention and mercy, and acknowledging His unique power and loving-kindness. It culminates in a powerful affirmation of God's sovereignty, as all nations are envisioned coming to adore Him. The music offers a moving expression of faith and reliance on divine protection.
