Domine ne in furore by Giovanni Maria Trabaci — Lyrics
In finem, in carminibus. Psalmus David. Pro octava.
Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me, neque in ira tua corripias me.
Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam infirmus sum; sana me, Domine,
quoniam conturbata sunt ossa mea.
Et anima mea turbata est valde; sed tu, Domine, usquequo?
Convertere, Domine, et eripe animam meam; salvum me fac propter misericordiam tuam.
Quoniam non est in morte qui memor sit tui; in inferno autem quis confitebitur tibi?

About Domine ne in furore
Giovanni Maria Trabaci, a composer of the late Renaissance and early Baroque, wrote this motet for SATB choir. The Latin text, drawn from the Psalms, is a heartfelt plea for divine mercy. The singer implores God not to punish them in anger, confessing their weakness and seeking healing for both body and soul. The words express deep distress and a sense of being overwhelmed by enemies, culminating in a desperate call for deliverance and a recognition that only the living can praise God. This setting is a powerful exploration of penitence and reliance on God's compassion, suitable for liturgical contexts or as a profound choral reflection.
