Herr erhöre mein Wort by Gabriel Möhlich — Lyrics
In finem, pro ea quæ hæreditatem consequitur. Psalmus David.
Verba mea auribus percipe, Domine; intellige clamorem meum.
Intende voci orationis meæ, rex meus et Deus meus.
Quoniam ad te orabo, Domine: mane exaudies vocem meam.
Mane astabo tibi, et videbo
quoniam non Deus volens iniquitatem tu es.
Neque habitabit juxta te malignus,
neque permanebunt injusti ante oculos tuos.
Odisti omnes qui operantur iniquitatem; perdes omnes qui loquuntur mendacium.
Virum sanguinum et dolosum abominabitur Dominus.
Ego autem in multitudine misericordiæ tuæ introibo in domum tuam;

About Herr erhöre mein Wort
This sacred work for SATB choir, Herr erhöre mein Wort, is a compelling setting of Psalm 5. The text, presented in a Latin and German mix, opens with a plea for God to hear the singer's words and cries. The composer, Gabriel Möhlich, crafts a piece that reflects the supplication and deep faith inherent in the psalm. Its structure and musical language are characteristic of the madrigal tradition, offering rich harmonic possibilities and intricate vocal interplay for the choir. The music vividly conveys the text's journey from earnest prayer to confident trust in divine justice and mercy.
