Domine exaudi orationem meam, auribus by Orlando di Lasso — Lyrics
Psalmus David, quando persequebatur eum Absalom filius ejus.
Domine, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe obsecrationem meam in veritate tua; exaudi me in tua justitia.
Et non intres in judicium cum servo tuo, quia non justificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens.
Quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam; humiliavit in terra vitam meam; collocavit me in obscures, sicut mortuos saeculi.
Et anxiatus est super me spiritus meus; in me turbatum est cor meum.
Memor fui dierum antiquorum; meditatus sum in omnibus operibus tuis:
in factis manuum tuarum meditabar.
Expandi manus meas ad te; anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi. [diapsalma]
Velociter exaudi me, Domine; defecit spiritus meus. Non avertas faciem tuam a me, et similis ero descendentibus in lacum.

About Domine exaudi orationem meam, auribus
Orlando di Lasso's Domine exaudi orationem meam, auribus is a motet for SATTB voices in Latin. The text, drawn from Psalm 143, paints a vivid picture of anguish and supplication. The composer sets the words of the Psalmist who, pursued by his son Absalom, cries out to God for deliverance. The music reflects the profound distress of the text as the singer confesses his unworthiness and pleads for a merciful hearing. The composer masterfully captures the human frailty and desperate hope found within this sacred text, creating a powerful plea for divine intervention.
