Domine ne in furore tuo by Philippe Verdelot — 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 tuo
Philippe Verdelot's motet Domine ne in furore tuo for ATTB voices sets a deeply personal prayer from Psalm 6. The text expresses a plea for mercy and healing from God, as the singer feels afflicted and their soul greatly disturbed. The words convey a sense of physical and spiritual weakness, seeking solace and deliverance from enemies.
This sacred motet, written in Latin, unfolds the psalm's lament with a focus on the singer's distress and fervent hope for God's intervention. Verdelot's setting allows the expressive text to resonate through the four-part texture, creating a moving and contemplative experience for both singers and listeners.
