Confitebor tibi, Domine, Deus meus by Utto Kornmüller — Lyrics
Oratio ipsi David. Inclina, Domine, aurem tuam et exaudi me, quoniam inops et pauper sum ego.
Custodi animam meam, quoniam sanctus sum; salvum fac servum tuum, Deus meus,
sperantem in te.
Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam ad te clamavi tota die;
laetifica animam servi tui, quoniam ad te, Domine, animam meam levavi.
Quoniam tu, Domine, suavis et mitis, et multae misericordiae omnibus invocantibus te.
Auribus percipe, Domine, orationem meam, et intende voci deprecationis meae.
In die tribulationis meae clamavi ad te, quia exaudisti me.
Non est similis tui in diis, Domine,
et non est secundum opera tua.
Omnes gentes quascumque fecisti venient, et adorabunt coram te, Domine, et
glorificabunt nomen tuum.
Quoniam magnus es tu, et faciens mirabilia; tu es Deus solus.
