Exaudi Domine ps 16 by Tobias Zeutschner — 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 Exaudi Domine ps 16
This sacred motet for SSATB voices sets a Latin text from Psalm 16, a prayer for divine protection and vindication. The composer Tobias Zeutschner crafts a plea for righteousness, asking God to hear his prayer and examine his heart. The music likely reflects the solemnity and earnestness of the petition. Suitable for liturgical settings or concert programming, Exaudi Domine offers a profound musical setting of a deeply personal spiritual appeal. The rich five-part texture allows for a full and resonant sound, ideal for conveying the depth of faith and supplication expressed in the psalm.
