Ad Dominum cum tribularer by Dominique Phinot — 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
Dominique Phinot's Ad Dominum cum tribularer is a sacred motet for SATTB voices, sung in Latin. The text, drawn from Psalm 120 (119), begins with a cry to the Lord in times of trouble, seeking deliverance from deceitful tongues and iniquitous lips. The composer captures the psalmist's distress and longing for peace, describing a prolonged, uncomfortable exile among those who hate peace and wage war without cause. Phinot's setting, characteristic of Renaissance sacred polyphony, likely employs intricate contrapuntal techniques to convey the emotional depth and theological weight of the psalm's message. This work would offer a compelling devotional experience for a choir and listeners alike.
