In allen meinen Taten | In all my actions |
Lass ich den Höchsten raten, | I let the Most High give counsel, |
Der alles kann und hat; | Who can do, and holds, all; |
Er muss zu allen Dingen, | Unto all things he must— |
Solls anders wohl gelingen, | If it is otherwise to prosper well— |
Selbst geben Rat und Tat. | Himself grant counsel and action. | transl. Michael Marissen and Daniel R. Melamed. |
