Deus ne me objurga (Psalm 6) by Giovanni Croce — Lyrics
In finem, in carminibus. Psalmus David. Pro octava.
Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me, neque in ira tua corripias me.
Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam infirmus sum; sana me, Domine,
quoniam conturbata sunt ossa mea.
Et anima mea turbata est valde; sed tu, Domine, usquequo?
Convertere, Domine, et eripe animam meam; salvum me fac propter misericordiam tuam.
Quoniam non est in morte qui memor sit tui; in inferno autem quis confitebitur tibi?

About Deus ne me objurga (Psalm 6)
Giovanni Croce composed this setting of Psalm 6, Deus ne me objurga. The text, taken from the Book of Psalms, is a prayer of penitence and supplication, expressing deep distress and a plea for divine mercy. The composer uses the Latin text, a common practice for sacred motets. This work is scored for a large choir of eight voices (SATTTB), allowing for rich harmonic textures and dynamic contrast. Croce's treatment of the psalm's emotional arc, from despair to hope, is reflected in the musical setting, making it a powerful example of Renaissance sacred polyphony.
