Exaudiat te Dominus by Marco Antonio Ingegneri — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus David.
Exaudiat te Dominus in die tribulationis; protegat te nomen Dei Iacob.
Mittat tibi auxilium de sancto, et de Sion tueatur te.
Memor sit omnis sacrificii tui, et holocaustum tuum pingue fiat.
Tribuat tibi secundum cor tuum, et omne consilium tuum confirmet.

About Exaudiat te Dominus
This motet, Exaudiat te Dominus, is drawn from Psalm 19 and would be fitting for a service of intercession or thanksgiving. The composer Marco Antonio Ingegneri sets the Latin text for an eight-part choir (SATB.SATTB), creating a rich and complex texture. The music unfolds the prayer for divine favour, protection and blessing, asking that God hear the suppliant in times of trouble and confirm all their plans. The text culminates in a powerful affirmation of faith in God's saving power and a declaration that the Lord will save his anointed king. Ingegneri's setting likely reflects the grandeur and devotional intensity of the Counter-Reformation period.
