Domine non secundum peccata nostra by Andreas Michot — Lyrics
Domine, non secundum peccata nostra quae fecimus nos[facias nobis],
neque secundum iniquitates nostras retribuas nobis.
Domine, ne memineris iniquitatum nostrarum antiquarum: cito anticipent nos misericordiae tuae. Quia pauperes facti sumus nimis.

About Domine non secundum peccata nostra
Andreas Michot's motet Domine non secundum peccata nostra sets a poignant Latin text from the liturgy. Scored for STTB choir, this sacred work draws its words from a prayer imploring God's mercy rather than strict judgment. The choir is asked to beseech the Lord not to deal with us according to our sins, but to remember His mercies and to deliver us for the glory of His name. The text expresses profound humility and a desperate plea for divine assistance, reflecting a deep spiritual sentiment common in sacred choral music. Michot's setting aims to convey the earnestness and supplication inherent in these ancient words.
