Deus in nomine tuo a 8 by Andrea Gabrieli — Lyrics
In finem, in carminibus. Intellectus David,
cum venissent Ziphaei, et dixissent ad Saul: Nonne David absconditus est apud nos?
Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac, et in virtute tua judica me.
Deus, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe verba oris mei.
Quoniam alieni insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes
quaesierunt animam meam, non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum. [diapsalma]

About Deus in nomine tuo a 8
Andrea Gabrieli, a leading composer of the Venetian school, wrote this motet for double choir (SATB.TBBB). The Latin text is taken from Psalm 53, offering a prayer for deliverance. It describes the composer's deep faith and trust in God's strength during times of adversity. The composer asks for divine intervention against those who seek his life, acknowledging God as his helper and protector. The text also expresses a vow to offer a willing sacrifice and give thanks to God for his steadfast goodness and salvation from all troubles. The majestic eight-part setting underscores the fervent supplication and ultimate praise within the sacred text.
