Gott, deine Güte reicht so weit,
So weit die Wolken gehen,
Du krönst uns mit Barmherzigkeit
Und eilst, uns beizustehen.
Herr! Meine Burg, mein Fels, mein Hort,
Vernimm mein Flehn, merk auf mein Wort;
Denn ich will vor dir beten!

(Sung text translation for setting by L. Beethoven)

See original

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

Dio, la Tua bontà arriva lontano,
fin dove vanno le nubi,
Tu ci incoroni di misericordia
e ti affretti a soccorrerci.
Signore! Mia torre di salvezza,  mia sicuro rifugio, mia ricchezza,
ascolta il mio pianto, presta orecchio alla mia parola.
Perché è Te che io prego!
