Aber abseits wer ist's? Im Gebüsch verliert sich der Pfad. Hinter ihm schlagen Die Sträuche zusammen, Das Gras steht wieder auf, Die Öde verschlingt ihn. Ach, wer heilet die Schmerzen Des, dem Balsam zu Gift ward? Der sich Menschenhaß Aus der Fülle der Liebe trank? Erst verachtet, nun ein Verächter, Zehrt er heimlich auf Seinen [eignen]1 Wert In [ung'nugender]2 Selbstsucht. Ist auf deinem Psalter, Vater der Liebe, ein Ton Seinem Ohre vernehmlich, So erquicke sein Herz! Öffne den umwölkten Blick Über die tausend Quellen Neben dem Durstenden In der Wüste!
J. Reichardt sets stanzas 2-3

Maar ter zijde, wie ‘s daar? In ’t struweel verliest zich zijn pad. Achter hem sluiten De struiken zich samen, Het gras richt zich weer op, De ruigte verzwelgt hem. Ach, wie heelt hém van pijnen, Voor wie balsem vergif werd? Die zich mensenhaat Uit de volheid der liefde dronk? Eerst geminacht, nu zelf verachter, Put hij heim’lijk uit Slechts zijn eigen kracht In frustrerende zelfzucht. Is wel op uw psalter, Vader der liefde, één toon Voor zijn oren verstaanbaar? O, verkwik dan zijn hart! Open zijn bewolkte blik Boven de duizend bronnen Vlak bij de dorstende In de zandzee!
