Commentary

Intabulation of the 2ª pars of the motet “Salvum me fac Domine.” The text drwas from Psalms 68:4-3 and 85-17.
68:3 infixus sum in limum profundi et non est substantia veni in altitudines maris et tempestas demersit me
68:4 laboravi clamans raucae factae sunt fauces meae defecerunt oculi mei dum spero in Deum meum
85:17 fac mecum signum in bono et videant qui oderunt me et confundantur quoniam tu Domine adiuvasti me et consolatus es me
Jacquet’s motet was first published in 1538 by Moderne in Lyon, and thereafter in Strasbourg (1539) and Venice (1541) by Scotto.

Song Text

Veni in altitudines maris et tempestas demersit me
Et dum clamarem ad te
Raucae factae sunt fauces meae
Tu enim Domine adiuvasti me et consolatus est me
Quia te solum exquisivi.

I came into the depths of the sea and a storm overwhelmed me
And while I was crying to you
Hoarse in my throat
For you, O Lord, have helped me and comforted me
Because I only sought you.
