Domine, exaudi orationem meam, auribus by Andrea Gabrieli — Lyrics
Psalmus David, quando persequebatur eum Absalom filius ejus.
Domine, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe obsecrationem meam in veritate tua; exaudi me in tua justitia.
Et non intres in judicium cum servo tuo, quia non justificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens.
Quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam; humiliavit in terra vitam meam; collocavit me in obscures, sicut mortuos saeculi.
Et anxiatus est super me spiritus meus; in me turbatum est cor meum.
Memor fui dierum antiquorum; meditatus sum in omnibus operibus tuis:
in factis manuum tuarum meditabar.
Expandi manus meas ad te; anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi. [diapsalma]
Velociter exaudi me, Domine; defecit spiritus meus. Non avertas faciem tuam a me, et similis ero descendentibus in lacum.

About Domine, exaudi orationem meam, auribus
Andrea Gabrieli’s motet Domine, exaudi orationem meam, auribus is a powerful setting for SSATTB voices of a deeply personal and fervent prayer. The text, drawn from Psalm 143, expresses profound distress and a plea for divine mercy in the face of persecution. The composer masterfully crafts a rich texture, allowing the six distinct voice parts to weave together, creating moments of both intense anxiety and hopeful supplication. The expansive scoring allows for a dramatic interplay of sonorities, reflecting the psalmist's desperate cry and his ultimate reliance on God's truth and justice. This motet offers a profound musical experience, conveying the raw emotion of the text through its intricate vocal writing.
