Auditui meo dabis by Francisco Valls — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus David,
cum venit ad eum Nathan propheta, quando intravit ad Bethsabee.
Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam; et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam.
Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me.
Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco, et peccatum meum contra me est semper.
Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci; ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris.
Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum: et in peccatis concepit me mater mea.
Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti; incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi.
Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor; lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.
Auditui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam: et exsultabunt ossa humiliata.
Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis, et omnes iniquitates meas dele.

About Auditui meo dabis
This setting of Psalm 51, a profound plea for divine mercy and cleansing, is by Francisco Valls. The text, starting with a confession of sin and seeking forgiveness, moves to a desire for spiritual purity. Valls crafts this for three female voices (AAA), perhaps reflecting the intimate and personal nature of the prayer. The music likely offers a contrapuntal texture, typical of sacred canons, where independent vocal lines weave together to create a rich and complex whole, amplifying the penitential and hopeful spirit of the psalm.
