Erhöre mich, wenn ich rufe by Gabriel Möhlich — Lyrics
In finem, in carminibus. Psalmus David.
Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus iustitiae meae, in tribulatione dilatasti mihi.
Miserere mei, et exaudi orationem meam.
Filii hominum, usquequo gravi corde? ut quid diligitis vanitatem,
et quaeritis mendacium? [diapsalma]
Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum;
Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare; quae dicitis in cordibus vestris,

About Erhöre mich, wenn ich rufe
Gabriel Möhlich’s Erhöre mich, wenn ich rufe unfolds with a rich SATB texture, masterfully weaving together Latin and German texts. The music moves with the expressive freedom characteristic of the madrigal tradition, exploring the dramatic shifts in the psalm verses. Möhlich sets the plea for divine attention and the subsequent assurance of being heard with compelling musical contours. The interplay between the voices creates a dynamic dialogue, reflecting the text’s journey from tribulation to the embrace of God’s light and joy. This sacred setting offers a compelling and engaging experience for both singers and listeners, drawing them into the emotional depth of the psalm.
