Ego clamavi by Nobuaki Izawa — Lyrics
Oratio David. Exaudi, Domine, justitiam meam; intende deprecationem meam.
Auribus percipe orationem meam, non in labiis dolosis.
De vultu tuo judicium meum prodeat; oculi tui videant aequitates.
Probasti cor meum, et visitasti nocte; igne me examinasti,
et non est inventa in me iniquitas.
Ut non loquatur os meum
opera hominum: propter verba labiorum tuorum,
ego custodivi vias duras.
Perfice gressus meos in semitis tuis, ut non moveantur vestigia mea.
Ego clamavi, quoniam exaudisti me, Deus; inclina aurem tuam mihi,
et exaudi verba mea.
Mirifica misericordias tuas, qui salvos facis sperantes in te.

About Ego clamavi
Nobuaki Izawa sets a profound Latin text from the Psalms for SATB choir. This sacred motet, suitable as a communion hymn, draws from the Oratio David, expressing a plea for divine justice and protection. The lyrics speak of a soul tested and found without iniquity, seeking to uphold righteous paths and praying for God's attentive ear. The composer captures the devotional spirit of the text, offering a work that is both musically engaging and spiritually resonant. The music unfolds with a sense of earnest supplication, building to moments of hopeful trust in God's mercy. It is a thoughtful piece for a choir seeking to explore the rich tradition of sacred Latin motets.
