Choral. Das wollst du, Gott, bewahren...

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG ITA

Das wollst du, Gott, bewahren rein
Für diesem arg'n Geschlechte;
Und lass uns dir befohlen sein,
Dass sichs in uns nicht flechte.
Der gottlos Hauf sich umher findt,
Wo solche lose Leute sind
In deinem Volk erhaben.

Corale. Tu, Dio, custodisci questo puro (Verbo)

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Tu, Dio, custodisci questa puro (Verbo)
per questa generazione malvagia;
e lasciaci essere raccomandati a Te,
affinché non rimanga impigliato in noi.
La folla empia si trova tutt'intorno,
dove tali persone malvagie sono
esaltate tra il Tuo popolo.
