Domine apud te by Nobuaki Izawa — Lyrics
In finem. Servo Domini ipsi David.
Dixit injustus ut delinquat in semetipso: non est timor Dei ante oculos ejus.
Quoniam dolose egit in conspectu ejus, ut inveniatur iniquitas ejus ad odium.
Verba oris ejus iniquitas, et dolus; noluit intelligere
ut bene ageret.
Iniquitatem meditatus est in cubili suo; astitit omni viae non bonae:
malitiam autem non odivit.
Domine, in caelo misericordia tua, et veritas tua usque ad nubes.
Justitia tua sicut montes Dei; judicia tua abyssus multa.
Homines et jumenta salvabis, Domine,

About Domine apud te
This sacred motet by Nobuaki Izawa is suitable for communion, offering a devotional reflection set in Latin. The text, drawn from the Psalms, speaks of God's mercy and truth, and the faithful's trust in His protection. It begins with a contemplation of injustice before turning to a powerful affirmation of divine compassion, likening it to the heavens and steadfast mountains. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic expression, enhancing the spiritual gravitas of the message. A choir might program this piece during the liturgical season of Ordinary Time, or as a reflective moment within a communion service, allowing the lush vocal writing to underscore the lyrical themes of divine solace and unwavering faithfulness.
