Ego dixi Domine a 7 by Giovanni Gabrieli — Lyrics
Ego dixi, Domine, miserere mei: sana animam meam, quoniam[quia] peccavi tibi:
Convertere, Domine; usquequo et deprecabilis esto super servos tuos.

About Ego dixi Domine a 7
Giovanni Gabrieli's Ego dixi Domine is a powerful motet for seven voices, written for an impressive SSAAATB or AATTBBB choir. Composed for sacred occasions, this Latin setting draws its text from the Psalms, reflecting deep penitence and a plea for divine mercy. The choir's prayer, 'I said, O Lord, have mercy upon me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee,' is a poignant cry for spiritual solace. The ensuing petition, 'Turn, O Lord; how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants. Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in thee,' conveys a profound expression of faith and trust in God's enduring compassion.
