In te Domine speravi by Amadio Freddi — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus David, pro extasi.
In te, Domine, speravi; non confundar in aeternum: in justitia tua libera me.
Inclina ad me aurem tuam; accelera ut eruas me.
Esto mihi in Deum protectorem, et in domum refugii, ut salvum me facias:
quoniam fortitudo mea et refugium meum es tu; et propter nomen tuum deduces me et enutries me.
Educes me de laqueo hoc quem absconderunt mihi, quoniam tu es protector meus.
In manus tuas commendo spiritum meum; redemisti me, Domine Deus veritatis.
Odisti observantes vanitates supervacue; ego autem in Domino speravi.
Exsultabo, et laetabor in misericordia tua, quoniam respexisti humilitatem meam;
salvasti de necessitatibus animam meam.
Nec conclusisti me in manibus inimici: statuisti in loco spatioso pedes meos.
Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam tribulor; conturbatus est in ira oculus meus,
anima mea, et venter meus.
Quoniam defecit in dolore vita mea, et anni mei in gemitibus.
Infirmata est in paupertate virtus mea, et ossa mea conturbata sunt.
Super omnes inimicos meos factus sum opprobrium, et vicinis meis valde, et timor notis meis; qui videbant me foras fugerunt a me.
Oblivioni datus sum, tamquam mortuus a corde; factus sum tamquam vas perditum:

About In te Domine speravi
This sacred motet, In te Domine speravi, would be an excellent choice for liturgical settings. Composed by Amadio Freddi, it is set for a double choir of soprano soloists and a five-part chorus (SSTTB). The text, sung in Latin, is drawn from Psalm 31, expressing profound trust in God as a protector and refuge. The composer’s setting captures the fervent plea for deliverance and the ultimate rejoicing in divine mercy. The rich voicing of SSTTB allows for a wide range of expressive possibilities, from intimate solo passages to powerful choral declarations of faith and hope. This work offers a compelling musical meditation on reliance and salvation.
