|Textual relationships=The long list of invocations beginning <em>Libera me, Domine (sicut...)</em>, with its many biblical examples of divine intervention, may go back to a version of the <em>Commendatio animae</em>, an early church prayer now known from the Roman Breviary. The popularity of the latter in Ireland is also evident from the hymn <em>Sén Dé donfé for-donté</em> and the epilogue of the <em>Félire Óengusso</em>. In light of the reference to the <em>Navigatio sancti Brendani</em> in the preface of the <em>Oratio</em>, it may be significant that this text contains an episode in which Brendan and his companions encounter a gigantic sea monster and invoke the Lord for protection, repeating <em>Domine, libera nos/servos tuos...</em> and citing the examples of David and Goliath, and Jonah and the Whale. Peter Salmon observes that this passage is a little more extensive in some manuscript copies than others.
