Damien Hirst

Psalm 6: Domine, ne in furore.

2008

"Psalm 6: Domine, ne in furore" is a large scale religious artwork by Damien Hirst that combines his characteristic use of pharmaceutical and medical imagery with spiritual iconography. The title references the Latin text of Psalm 6, a biblical plea for mercy and deliverance from suffering, connecting Hirst's recurring themes of mortality and medicine to Christian devotional practice. The work exemplifies Hirst's exploration of the intersection between science, faith, and human vulnerability through his signature visual vocabulary of pills, butterflies, and gilded surfaces.
