Ad Dominum cum tribularer by Ivo de Vento — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. Ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi, et exaudivit me.
Domine, libera animam meam a labiis iniquis et a lingua dolosa.
Quid detur tibi, aut quid apponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam?
Sagittae potentis acutae, cum carbonibus desolatoriis.
Heu mihi, quia incolatus meus prolongatus est! habitavi cum habitantibus

About Ad Dominum cum tribularer
Ivo de Vento's motet Ad Dominum cum tribularer is a powerful setting of a Latin text from the Psalms. Composed for SATB choir, this sacred work draws from Psalm 119 (120) to express profound distress and a plea for deliverance. The text describes the singer's affliction, their calling out to the Lord, and the divine response of being heard. It speaks of unjust words and deceitful tongues, comparing them to sharp arrows. The singer laments their prolonged exile and their efforts to maintain peace with those who oppose it. Vento's composition captures the emotional depth of this plea, offering a moving reflection on faith and perseverance in the face of adversity.
