Eripe me Domine a 5 by Christoph Straus — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus David.
Eripe me, Domine, ab homine malo; a viro iniquo eripe me.
Qui cogitaverunt iniquitates in corde, tota die constituebant praelia.
Acuerunt linguas suas sicut serpentis; venenum aspidum sub labiis eorum.
Custodi me, Domine, de manu peccatoris, et ab hominibus iniquis eripe me.
Qui cogitaverunt supplantare gressus meos:
absconderunt superbi laqueum mihi. Et funes extenderunt in laqueum;
juxta iter, scandalum posuerunt mihi.
Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu; exaudi, Domine, vocem deprecationis meae.
Domine, Domine, virtus salutis meae, obumbrasti super caput meum in die belli.

About Eripe me Domine a 5
This setting of Psalm 34, verse 1, Eripe me Domine, is for a five-part choir of SSATB. Christoph Straus sets the Latin text in a sacred motet style. The composer's music reflects the supplication of the text, which implores deliverance from evil men and the snares they lay. The musical lines weave together to create a rich texture, suitable for services during penitential seasons or for general use in a motet collection. The clear part-writing would have made it accessible to choirs of the period.
