|---|---|
Geist und Seele wird verwirret, |
Spirit and soul become confused |
Wenn sie dich, mein Gott, betracht’. |
when they contemplate You, my God. |
Denn die Wunder, so sie kennet |
For the miracles that they know |
Und das Volk mit Jauchzen nennet, |
and that people exultantly describe, |
Hat sie taub und stumm gemacht. |
has made them deaf and dumb. |
