Original text and translations

German text Ach Herr, ach meiner schone, nach deim Grimm mir nicht ablohne. Denn deine Pfeil zumal machen mir große Qual. O weh, mein armes Herz empfindet großen Schmerz. O du mein lieber Herre Gott, hilf mir in meiner großen Not.

English translation O Lord, O my protector, cast Your ire not upon me, For Your arrows cause me such great agony. O, my poor Heart is greatly afflicted. O Beloved Lord, help me in my great poverty.
