Warum toben die Heiden und sinnen auf...
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Latin 
Warum toben die Heiden und sinnen auf Eitles die Fürsten? 
Es stehen auf die Könige der Erde 
und kommen zusammen wider den Herrn und seinen Gesalbten. 
Laßt uns zerreißen ihre Bande und von uns werfen ihr Joch! 
Der im Himmel wohnt, lachet ihrer, ihrer spottet der Herr. 
Dient dem Herrn in Furcht, preist ihn mit Zittern; 
selig alle, die auf ihn vertrau'n.
