Ho Dio, kreu al mi koron puran by Christoph Dalitz — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus David,
cum venit ad eum Nathan propheta, quando intravit ad Bethsabee.
Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam; et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam.
Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me.
Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco, et peccatum meum contra me est semper.
Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci; ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris.
Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum: et in peccatis concepit me mater mea.
Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti; incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi.
Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor; lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.
Auditui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam: et exsultabunt ossa humiliata.
Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis, et omnes iniquitates meas dele.

About Ho Dio, kreu al mi koron puran
This motet sets the opening words of Psalm 51, a profound prayer for forgiveness and spiritual cleansing. The text, in Latin, is a direct plea to God for mercy, acknowledging personal sin and seeking divine absolution. The composer's setting captures the penitential spirit of the psalm, with the rich SATB voicing providing a full and resonant sound. The inclusion of Esperanto in the title, 'Ho Dio, kreu al mi koron puran,' translates to 'O God, create in me a pure heart,' suggesting a dual focus on tradition and universality in the work. This piece offers a powerful expression of repentance and hope for renewal.
