Domine memorabor by Nobuaki Izawa — Lyrics
Psalmus David, filiorum Jonadab, et priorum captivorum.
In te, Domine, speravi; non confundar in aeternum.
In justitia tua libera me, et eripe me: inclina ad me aurem tuam, et salva me.
Esto mihi in Deum protectorem, et in locum munitum, ut salvum me facias:
quoniam firmamentum meum et refugium meum es tu.
Deus meus, eripe me de manu peccatoris, et de manu contra legem agentis,
et iniqui:
quoniam tu es patientia mea, Domine; Domine, spes mea a juventute mea.
In te confirmatus sum ex utero;
de ventre matris meae tu es protector meus; in te cantatio mea semper.
Tamquam prodigium factus sum multis; et tu adjutor fortis.
Repleatur os meum laude, ut cantem gloriam tuam, tota die magnitudinem tuam.
Ne projicias me in tempore senectutis; cum defecerit virtus mea, ne derelinquas me.
Quia dixerunt inimici mei mihi, et qui custodiebant animam meam consilium fecerunt in unum,
dicentes: Deus dereliquit eum: persequimini et comprehendite eum, quia non est qui eripiat.
Deus ne elongeris a me; Deus meus, in auxilium meum respice.
Confundantur et deficiant detrahentes animae meae; operiantur confusione

About Domine memorabor
This SATB motet in Latin, Domine memorabor, sets a text from Psalm 71, a prayer for divine protection and steadfast hope in God. The music would suit a solemn occasion within the church's calendar, perhaps for communion. The composer Nobuaki Izawa crafts a setting that emphasizes the text's themes of trust and reliance on God's justice and strength. The choir will find opportunities to express the supplicant's plea and ultimate praise, reflecting the spiritual journey from dependence to thanksgiving. The composer's skill is evident in shaping the music to the profound meaning of the sacred words.
