Mein Sohn, warum hast du uns das getan ?
Siehe, dein Vater und ich haben dich,

Siehe, deine Mutter und ich haben dich,

Wisset ihr nicht, dass ich sein muss in dem,
das meines Vaters ist?
Was ist's, dass ihr mich gesuchet habet?

Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen, Herr Zebaoth!
Meine Seele verlanget und sehnet sich 
nach den Vorhöfen des Herrn; 
mein Leib und Seele freuen sich

Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen, Herr Zebaoth!
Wohl denen, die in deinem Hause wohnen,
die loben dich immerdar.
Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen!
