In die tribulationis by Philippe de Monte — Lyrics
Oratio ipsi David. Inclina, Domine, aurem tuam et exaudi me, quoniam inops et pauper sum ego.
Custodi animam meam, quoniam sanctus sum; salvum fac servum tuum, Deus meus,
sperantem in te.
Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam ad te clamavi tota die;
laetifica animam servi tui, quoniam ad te, Domine, animam meam levavi.
Quoniam tu, Domine, suavis et mitis, et multae misericordiae omnibus invocantibus te.
Auribus percipe, Domine, orationem meam, et intende voci deprecationis meae.
In die tribulationis meae clamavi ad te, quia exaudisti me.
Non est similis tui in diis, Domine,
et non est secundum opera tua.
Omnes gentes quascumque fecisti venient, et adorabunt coram te, Domine, et
glorificabunt nomen tuum.
Quoniam magnus es tu, et faciens mirabilia; tu es Deus solus.

About In die tribulationis
This motet, In die tribulationis, sets a prayer from the Psalms, attributed to David. It expresses deep supplication and trust in God amidst affliction, pleading for divine mercy and protection. The text speaks of God's kindness, gentleness, and abundant mercy towards all who call upon Him, asserting His unique greatness and power. The composer, Philippe de Monte, crafts this fervent plea for a five-part choir (SAATB), weaving the Latin text into a rich polyphonic texture. The music reflects the earnestness of the prayer, moving from moments of profound humility and distress to confident praise of God's incomparable majesty.
