English text
I set the Lord still in my sight,
And trust him over all;
For he doth stand on my right hand,
Therefore I shall not fall.
Wherefore my heart and tongue also
Rejoice exceedingly:
My flesh likewise doth rest in hope
To rise again, for why?
Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,
Because thou lovest me,
Nor yet wilt give thy holy one
Corruption for to see;
But wilt me teach the way to life,
Where there is joy in store,
And where, at thy right hand, there are
Pleasures for evermore.
