Domine deduc me by Orlando di Lasso — Lyrics
In finem, pro ea quæ hæreditatem consequitur. Psalmus David.
Verba mea auribus percipe, Domine; intellige clamorem meum.
Intende voci orationis meæ, rex meus et Deus meus.
Quoniam ad te orabo, Domine: mane exaudies vocem meam.
Mane astabo tibi, et videbo
quoniam non Deus volens iniquitatem tu es.
Neque habitabit juxta te malignus,
neque permanebunt injusti ante oculos tuos.
Odisti omnes qui operantur iniquitatem; perdes omnes qui loquuntur mendacium.
Virum sanguinum et dolosum abominabitur Dominus.
Ego autem in multitudine misericordiæ tuæ introibo in domum tuam;

About Domine deduc me
Orlando di Lasso's Domine deduc me is a sacred motet written for SAATBB voices. The Latin text is taken from Psalm 5, where the singer implores God for guidance and protection from enemies. The composer sets the plea for righteousness and clear direction in God's sight with a rich, six-part texture. The music follows the devotional text closely, building from a humble prayer to a confident assertion of faith. This setting is a powerful example of Renaissance sacred polyphony, offering a compelling musical meditation on trust and divine justice for a discerning choir.
