Original text and translations

German text

1. Sinfonia

2. Coro
Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich. Mein Gott, ich hoffe auf dich. Laß mich nicht zuschanden werden, daß sich meine Feinde nicht freuen über mich.

3. Aria
Doch bin und bleibe ich vergnügt,
Obgleich hier zeitlich toben
Kreuz, Sturm und andre Proben,
Tod, Höll und was sich fügt.
Ob Unfall schlägt den treuen Knecht,
Recht ist und bleibet ewig Recht.

4. Coro
Leite mich in deiner Wahrheit und lehre mich; denn du bist der Gott, der mir hilft, täglich harre ich dein.

5. Terzetto
Zedern müssen von den Winden
Oft viel Ungemach empfinden,
Oftmals werden sie verkehrt.
Rat und Tat auf Gott gestellet,
Achtet nicht, was widerbellet,
Denn sein Wort ganz anders lehrt.

6. Coro
Meine Augen sehen stets zu dem Herrn; denn er wird meinen Fuß aus dem Netze ziehen.

7. Coro
Meine Tage in den Leiden
Endet Gott dennoch zur Freuden;
Christen auf den Dornenwegen
Führen Himmels Kraft und Segen.
Bleibet Gott mein treuer Schatz,
Achte ich nicht Menschenkreuz;
Christus, der uns steht zur Seiten,
Hilft mir täglich sieghaft streiten.

Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich, BWV 150 (Johann Sebastian Bach)
