Ach dass ich Wassers gnug hätte in meinem Haupte Und meine Augen Tränenquellen wären, Dass ich Tag und Nacht beweinen könnte meine Sünde! Meine Sünden gehen über mein Haupt. Wie eine schwere Last ist sie mir zu schwer worden, Darum weine ich so, und meine beiden Augen fliessen mit Wasser. Meines Seufzens ist viel, und mein Herz ist betrübet, Denn der Herr hat mich voll Jammers gemacht Am Tage seines grimmigen Zorns.
Based on: Jeremiah 9, Psalm 38, Lamentations of Jeremiah 1.

Ach, dat ik in mijn hoofd water genoeg had En mijn ogen tranenbronnen waren, Dat ik dag en nacht mijn zonden bewenen kon! Mijn zonden groeien mij boven het hoofd. Als een zware last zijn ze mij te zwaar geworden; daarom ween ik zo. En mijn beide ogen stromen over van tranen. Mijn zuchten is groot, en mijn hart is bedroefd, Want de Heer heeft mij vol verdriet gestort Op de dag van zijn grimmige toorn.
