Deus in nomine tuo a 8 by Francesco Maria Guaitoli — Lyrics
In finem, in carminibus. Intellectus David,
cum venissent Ziphaei, et dixissent ad Saul: Nonne David absconditus est apud nos?
Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac, et in virtute tua judica me.
Deus, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe verba oris mei.
Quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes
quaesierunt animam meam, non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum. [diapsalma]

About Deus in nomine tuo a 8
This motet for double choir (SATB.AATB) is a setting of a Latin text that opens with a psalm-like narrative, describing a time of hiding and the threat of enemies. The music then moves to a fervent prayer for salvation and deliverance, invoking God's name and strength. The composer sets the words of trust and confidence with powerful affirmations of divine aid, leading to a solemn promise of thanksgiving. The text expresses profound reliance on God for protection against adversaries, culminating in a declaration of gratitude for deliverance from tribulation.
