Antiphona 2 Convertere Domine by Hernando Franco — Lyrics
In finem, in carminibus. Psalmus David. Pro octava.
Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me, neque in ira tua corripias me.
Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam infirmus sum; sana me, Domine,
quoniam conturbata sunt ossa mea.
Et anima mea turbata est valde; sed tu, Domine, usquequo?
Convertere, Domine, et eripe animam meam; salvum me fac propter misericordiam tuam.
Quoniam non est in morte qui memor sit tui; in inferno autem quis confitebitur tibi?

About Antiphona 2 Convertere Domine
This setting of a Latin text from Psalm 6, sung by SATB choir, opens with a plea for mercy. The singer begs not to be rebuked in anger, citing their weakness and distress. The words express a deep spiritual turmoil, a cry for deliverance from enemies and a longing for God’s salvation. The text moves from profound personal suffering to a plea for divine intervention, reflecting a common theme in sacred music of seeking comfort and aid in times of tribulation. Franco’s composition likely brings a rich harmonic texture to this poignant supplication.
