|---|---|
Lobe den Herren, der alles so herrlich regieret,
|
Praise the Lord, who governs everything so gloriously,
|
Der dich auf Adelers Fittichen sicher geführet,
|
Who has borne you securely on eagle’s pinions,
|
Der dich erhält,
|
Who upholds you
|
Wie es dir selber gefällt;
|
As is felicitous to you yourself.
|
Hast du nicht dieses verspüret? |
Have you not sensed this? |
