Domine, ne in furore tuo ... quoniam by Andrea Gabrieli — Lyrics
Psalmus David, in rememorationem de sabbato.
Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me, neque in ira tua corripias me:
quoniam sagittae tuae infixae sunt mihi, et confirmasti super me manum tuam.
Non est sanitas in carne mea, a facie irae tuae; non est pax ossibus meis,
a facie peccatorum meorum:
quoniam iniquitates meae supergressae sunt caput meum,
et sicut onus grave gravatae sunt super me.
Putruerunt et corruptae sunt cicatrices meae, a facie insipientiae meae.
Miser factus sum et curvatus sum usque in finem; tota die contristatus ingrediebar.
Quoniam lumbi mei impleti sunt illusionibus, et non est sanitas in carne mea.
Afflictus sum, et humiliatus sum nimis; rugiebam a gemitu cordis mei.
Domine, ante te omne desiderium meum, et gemitus meus a te non est absconditus.
Cor meum conturbatum est; dereliquit me virtus mea,
et lumen oculorum meorum, et ipsum non est mecum.
Amici mei et proximi mei adversum me appropinquaverunt, et steterunt; et qui juxta me erant,

About Domine, ne in furore tuo ... quoniam
This setting of a penitential psalm by Andrea Gabrieli opens with a plea to God not to rebuke the singer in anger. The text expresses deep remorse and suffering, describing spiritual and physical anguish as a heavy burden, with wounds festering and health failing. The composer's SAATTB voicing creates rich harmonic textures that underscore the text's profound sorrow and supplication. This sacred motet, sung in Latin, offers a powerful and moving expression of repentance and a cry for divine mercy, suited for liturgical or concert performance.
