Deus, iniqui insurrexerunt super me by Hermes Bruneau — Lyrics
In finem, filiis Core. Psalmus.
Benedixisti, Domine, terram tuam; avertisti captivitatem Jacob.
Remisisti iniquitatem plebis tuae; operuisti omnia peccata eorum.
Mitigasti omnem iram tuam; avertisti ab ira indignationis tuae.
Converte nos, Deus salutaris noster, et averte iram tuam a nobis.
Numquid in aeternum irasceris nobis? aut extendes iram tuam a generatione
in generationem?
Deus, tu conversus vivificabis nos, et plebs tua laetabitur in te.

About Deus, iniqui insurrexerunt super me
This setting of a Latin text, drawn from the Psalms, is a powerful motet for SSATB choir. The words express a plea for divine mercy and a turning away from wrath, invoking God’s deliverance and restoration of His people. The composer Hermes Bruneau crafts a sacred work that reflects the gravity and hope found within the ancient text. The rich vocal texture of the SSATB voicing allows for a full and resonant interpretation of these profound biblical verses, offering a deeply spiritual experience suitable for dedicated choral programs.
