Ab Insurgentibus in Me

Ab Insurgentibus in Me is an antiphon for Good Friday. Here David presages the suffering of Our Lord by beseeching God for deliverance from those who seek his destruction.

Ab Insurgentibus in Me is the first antiphon of Good Friday's third Nocturn.
It is here sung by the Schola Antiqua.

Latin lyrics

Ab insurgentibus in me,
Libera me, Domine,
Quia occupaverunt animam meam.

Eripe me de inimicis meis, Deus meus:
Et ab insurgentibus in me, libera me.

Ab insurgentibus in me,
Libera me, Domine,
Quia occupaverunt animam meam.


English translation

From those who rise up against me,
Deliver me, O Lord,
For they have seized my soul.

Rescue me from my enemies, O my God:
And free me from the insurgents.

From those who rise up against me,
Deliver me, O Lord,
For they have seized my soul.
