Deliver us, O Lord by Orlando Gibbons — Lyrics
Alleluja. Confitemini Domino, quoniam bonus, quoniam in saeculum misericordia ejus.
Quis loquetur potentias Domini; auditas faciet omnes laudes ejus?
Beati qui custodiunt judicium, et faciunt justitiam in omni tempore.
Memento nostri, Domine, in beneplacito populi tui; visita nos in salutari tuo:
ad videndum in bonitate electorum tuorum; ad laetandum in laetitia gentis tuae: ut lauderis cum haereditate tua.
Peccavimus cum patribus nostris: injuste egimus; iniquitatem fecimus.
Patres nostri in Aegypto non intellexerunt mirabilia tua; non fuerunt
memores multitudinis misericordiae tuae. Et irritaverunt ascendentes in mare, mare Rubrum;
et salvavit eos propter nomen suum, ut notam faceret potentiam suam.
Et increpuit mare Rubrum et exsiccatum est, et deduxit eos in abyssis
sicut in deserto.
Et salvavit eos de manu odientium, et redemit eos de manu inimici.
Et operuit aqua tribulantes eos; unus ex eis non remansit.
Et crediderunt verbis ejus, et laudaverunt laudem ejus.
Cito fecerunt; obliti sunt operum ejus: et non sustinuerunt consilium ejus.
Et concupierunt concupiscentiam in deserto, et tentaverunt Deum in inaquoso.
Et dedit eis petitionem ipsorum, et misit saturitatem in animas eorum.
Et irritaverunt Moysen in castris; Aaron, sanctum Domini.
Aperta est terra, et deglutivit Dathan, et operuit super congregationem Abiron.
Et exarsit ignis in synagoga eorum: flamma combussit peccatores.
Et fecerunt vitulum in Horeb, et adoraverunt sculptile.
Et mutaverunt gloriam suam in similitudinem vituli comedentis foenum.
Obliti sunt Deum qui salvavit eos; qui fecit magnalia in Aegypto,
mirabilia in terra Cham, terribilia in mari Rubro.

About Deliver us, O Lord
Orlando Gibbons’s anthem Deliver us, O Lord is ideal for services of penitence or prayer. Setting a Latin text which moves from praise for God’s mercy to confession of sin and a plea for deliverance, it is presented here with an English translation. The SAATB and SATB choirs are used in alternation and combination, creating rich textures and dramatic contrasts. The music moves from the solemnity of the opening Alleluja and praise, through the heartfelt pleas of confession, to a final, hopeful affirmation of God’s saving power. This is a substantial and deeply expressive work, fitting for a devout occasion.
