Deus in adjutorium by Jacob Regnart — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus David in rememorationem, quod salvum fecerit eum Dominus.
Deus, in adjutorium meum intende; Domine, ad adjuvandum me festina.
Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quaerunt animam meam.
Avertantur retrorsum, et erubescant, qui volunt mihi mala;
avertantur statim erubescentes qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge!

About Deus in adjutorium
This jubilant Latin motet opens with an impassioned plea for divine aid, setting the tone for a powerful expression of faith. Scored for SATB choir, Deus in adjutorium is a testament to the composer's skill in weaving together rich harmonies. The text, drawn from Psalm 70, moves from a prayer for help to a triumphant declaration of God's deliverance. It speaks of confusion for enemies and exultation for those who seek the Lord, culminating in a confident assertion of God as helper and deliverer. This motet would be an uplifting choice for liturgical services or any occasion calling for a spirited and devout choral offering.
