Dominus Deus noster by Giovanni Rovetta — Lyrics
Domine Deus, Deus noster
in ditione tua cuncta sunt posita
et non est qui possit resistere voluntati tuae,
si decrevetis salvate nos,
Tu fecisti coelum et terram
et quidquid coeli ambitu continetur,

About Dominus Deus noster
This sacred motet for two voices, AT, is set in Latin. The text is a fervent prayer, imploring God's mercy and protection against enemies who wish to destroy His people. It acknowledges God's supreme power, who created the heavens and earth, and pleads for salvation and a transformation of sorrow into joy. The voices of Rovetta's setting likely offer a close, imitative dialogue, reflecting the personal and earnest nature of the supplication. It calls for the Lord to look favourably upon His inheritance and grant eternal praise through a life of gladness.
