Dilexi quoniam exaudiet Dominus by Philipp Dulichius — Lyrics
Alleluja. Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meae.
Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi, et in diebus meis invocabo.
Circumdederunt me dolores mortis; et pericula inferni invenerunt me.
Tribulationem et dolorem inveni,
et nomen Domini invocavi: o Domine, libera animam meam.
Misericors Dominus et justus, et Deus noster miseretur.
Custodiens parvulos Dominus; humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.
Convertere, anima mea, in requiem tuam, quia Dominus benefecit tibi:
quia eripuit animam meam de morte, oculos meos a lacrimis, pedes meos a lapsu.
Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.

About Dilexi quoniam exaudiet Dominus
This sacred motet, sung in Latin, comes from Philipp Dulichius and is set for a choir. The text, drawn from the Psalms, speaks of deliverance from death and distress. The opening Alleluja, Dilexi quoniam exaudiet Dominus, declares confidence in God's hearing of prayer. The lyrics move from descriptions of being surrounded by the pains of death and hell to praise for God's mercy and justice. It expresses profound gratitude for being saved from the brink of death, with the soul finding peace in God's goodness. A choir might sing this during a service of thanksgiving or remembrance, reflecting on divine protection and steadfastness in times of trouble.
