Domine da nobis auxilium by Orlando di Lasso — Lyrics
In finem, pro his qui immutabuntur, in tituli inscriptionem ipsi David, in doctrinam,
cum succendit Mesopotamiam Syriae et Sobal, et convertit Joab, et percussit Idumaeam in valle Salinarum duodecim millia.
Deus, repulisti nos, et destruxisti nos; iratus es,
et misertus est nobis.
Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam; sana contritiones ejus, quia commota est.
Ostendisti populo tuo dura; potasti nos vino compunctionis.
Dedisti metuentibus te significationem, ut fugiant a facie arcus;
ut liberentur dilecti tui.
Salvum fac dextera tua, et exaudi me.

About Domine da nobis auxilium
Orlando di Lasso's potent motet Domine da nobis auxilium for SSATTB voices sets a compelling Latin text. The music reflects the somber opening of the psalm, depicting God's anger and the subsequent turning towards mercy for his people. Lasso masterfully crafts the dense textures and dramatic contours to express the plea for divine intervention and deliverance. This powerful sacred work is well-suited for a Lenten or penitential service, offering a profound musical reflection on repentance and the hope of salvation.
