Translation by Johann Gramann (1487 - 1541)
Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Latin
Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren, was in mir ist, den Namen sein. Sein Wohltat tut er mehren, vergiss es nicht, o Herze mein. Hat dir dein Sünd vergeben und heilt dein Schwachheit gross, errett' dein armes Leben, nimmt dich in seinen Schoss, mit reichem Trost beschüttet, verjüngt, dem Adler gleich; der Kön'g schafft Recht, behütet, die leiden in seinem Reich.
