Trachten will ich nicht auf Erden

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: DUT ENG HEB

Trachten will ich nicht auf Erden,
daß ich reich an Gütern werde
Was mich hier beglücken soll,
ist auf Gott gebautes Wohl.
 
Lust nach Geld kann bessre Freuden,
die uns Gott bestimmt, verleiden,
raubt der Tugend Lust und Kraft,
macht oft elend, lasterhaft.
 
Einst an meiner Lebensschranken
werd ich Gott zufrieden danken,
daß er mir bis an mein Grab
Nahrung nur und Decke gab.

להלל לאל

Language: Hebrew (עברית) after the German (Deutsch)

כָּל עוֹד, כָּל עוֹד אֲנִי כָּאן
מַה רְכוּשׁ לִי? מַה קִנְיָן?
אֵינִי דוֹאֵג יוֹתֵר מִדַּי
כִּי אֱלֹהִים שׁוֹמֵר עָלַי.

בֶּצַע-כֶּסֶף לָהוֹלֵל
יַעֲכֹר שִׂמְחַת הָאֵל
סְגוּלוֹתֵנוּ יְדַלְדֵּל
רַק יַשְׁחִית וִיאַמְּלֵל.

שְׁאֵלוֹת אֵינִי שׁוֹאֵל
רַק מוֹדֶה אֲנִי לָאֵל:
נָם לִי בְּמַצְפּוּן נָקִי:
כְּסוּת, מָזוֹן לִי, כָּל צָרְכִּי.
