Deduc me, domine by Francesco Stivori — 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
Francesco Stivori’s Deduc me, domine is a sacred motet for six-part choir (SAATTB). Sung in Latin, its text is a prayer from the Book of Psalms, a plea for divine guidance, protection, and mercy. The composer sets the words with a keen sense of their devotional meaning. The supplicant asks God to incline his ear, to save his servant, and to gladden his soul. The motet’s texture shifts to reflect the text’s unfolding sentiments, from humble entreaty to confident trust in God’s boundless compassion. The setting culminates in a powerful affirmation of God’s uniqueness and a vision of all nations coming to adore Him.
