Domine ne in furore tuo … miserere by Orlando di Lasso — 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 … miserere
Orlando di Lasso sets a deeply personal psalm text in this motet for SATTB voices. The Latin words express a plea for mercy and healing, acknowledging human frailty and the weight of sin. The psalmist cries out to God in anguish, asking not to be rebuked in wrath and seeking solace from profound distress. The music would have been intended for sacred use, reflecting the Renaissance motet tradition. The composer's setting likely captures the emotional intensity of the text, from moments of despair to a desperate hope for divine intervention and salvation. This work offers a powerful exploration of faith and vulnerability.
