Johann Ludwig Bach (1677–1731)
| Original Text | English Translation |
| Sei nun wieder zufrieden, meine Seele, denn der Herr tut dir Guts. Denn du hast meine Seele aus dem Tode gerissen, meine Augen von Tränen, meinen Fuß vom Gleiten. Ich will wandeln vor dem Herrn im Lande der Lebendigen. |
Now again be content, my soul, for the Lord does good things for you. For you [Lord] have snatched my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my foot from slipping. Iwill walk in the Lord’s presence in the land of the living. Psalm 116:7–9 |
