Original text and translations

German.png German text
Ich bin jung gewesen, und alt worden; und habe noch nie gesehen, den Gerechten verlassen; oder seinen Samen nach Brot gehen.

Bleibe fromm und halt dich recht. Denn solchem wirds zuletzt wohl gehen.

English.png English translation
I have been young, and now am old; Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread.

Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell for evermore.
