Ach Herr, ach meiner schone, nach deim Grimm mir nicht ablohne.
Denn deine Pfeil zumal machen mir große Qual.
O weh, mein armes Herz empfindet großen Schmerz.
O du mein lieber Herre Gott, hilf mir in meiner großen Not.

O Lord, O my protector, cast Your ire not upon me,
For Your arrows cause me such great agony.
O, my poor Heart is greatly afflicted.
O Beloved Lord, help me in my great poverty.
