Domine ne in furore tuo … quoniam by Orlando di Lasso — 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
Orlando di Lasso’s motet Domine ne in furore tuo quoniam, set for SATTB voices, opens with a profound sense of distress. The music immediately reflects the text’s plea to God not to be rebuked in anger, portraying a deep personal anguish. The composer masterfully employs the five-part choir to articulate the sorrow and suffering described in the Latin psalm. The intricate vocal lines convey the weight of sin and the physical and spiritual torment experienced by the psalmist. Lasso’s rich harmonic language and contrapuntal skill bring a powerful emotional depth to the sacred text, creating a moving and somber reflection on repentance and divine judgment.
