Här är din fotapall, här vila dina fötter, där de bo, de fattigaste, de förtappade och de förkomna. När jag försöker bringa dig min hyllning, når min bugning ej ned till det djup, där dina fötter vila bland de fattigaste, de förtappade och de förkomna. Högmod kan ej nalkas dig där du vandrar i de ringes kläder bland de fattigaste, de förtappade och de förkomna. Mitt hjärta kan aldrig hitta vägen dit, där du står, vänsäll bland de vänlösa hos de fattigaste, de förtappade och de förkomna.

Hier ist Dein Fuss-Schemel. Hier ruhen Deine Füsse, wo sie sind, die Ärmlichsten und die Verlassenen und die Verlornen. Wenn ich versuche ziemeud Dir zu huldigen, rückt mein Beugen dorthin nicht hinab, wo Deine Füsse ruhen bei den Ärmlichsten und den Verlassenen und den Verlornen. Hochmut naht vergebens Dir, wo Du wandelst in der Armut Kleidern bei den Ärmlichsten und den Verlassenen und den Verlornen. Mein Herz findet leider nie den Weg dorthin, wo Du stehst, freundlich unter Freundlosen bei den Ärmlichsten und den Verlassenen und den Verlornen.
