Domine, ne in furore by Scipione Dentice — Lyrics
In finem, in carminibus. Psalmus David. Pro octava.
Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me, neque in ira tua corripias me.
Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam infirmus sum; sana me, Domine,
quoniam conturbata sunt ossa mea.
Et anima mea turbata est valde; sed tu, Domine, usquequo?
Convertere, Domine, et eripe animam meam; salvum me fac propter misericordiam tuam.
Quoniam non est in morte qui memor sit tui; in inferno autem quis confitebitur tibi?

About Domine, ne in furore
Scipione Dentice's motet Domine, ne in furore is a setting of a text from Psalm 6, a penitential psalm. The composer was active in Naples in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, and this work belongs to the tradition of sacred polyphony. The SATTB voicing provides a rich texture for the expressive Latin text, which conveys a plea for mercy in times of suffering and distress. The music will likely reflect the devotional nature of the psalm, with the contrapuntal lines of the choir weaving together to create a moving meditation on faith and repentance.
