Mein Herz ist bereit, Gott

Mein Herz ist bereit, Gott,
dass ich singe und lobe.
Wache auf, meine Ehre, wache auf.
Wohlauf, Psalter und Harfen [wohlauf]1!
Früh will ich aufwachen.
Herr, ich will dir danken unter den Völkern,
ich will dir lobsingen unter den Leuten.
Denn deine [Gnade reichet]2 so weit der Himmel
ist und deine Wahrheit, so weit die Wolken gehen.
Erhebe dich, Gott, über den Himmel
und deine Ehre über alle Welt.
Alleluia

Mon cœur est prêt, Dieu

Mon cœur est prêt, Dieu,
Pour chanter et louer,
Réveille-toi, mon honneur.
Éveillez-vous, psaltérion et harpe,
Tôt je vous réveillerez.
Seigneur, je te remercierai parmi les peuples,
Je chanterai tes louanges parmi les peuples.
Car ta bonté est aussi vaste que le ciel
Et ta vérité est aussi vaste que ce que les nuages atteignent.
Élève-toi, Seigneur, au-dessus des cieux
Et que ton honneur soit au-dessus du monde entier.
Alleluia.
