Text Translation

Sung in German

I. Chorus
What is mankind that you should exalt them and set your heart on them?That you should visit them daily and test them every moment?

II. Arioso (Solo Quartet)
Why do you hide your face?
Will you rush to torment a windblown leaf and chase after dry chaff ?

III. Chorus
You have granted me life and favor and your care has preserved my spirit,
And though these things are hidden in your heart,
I rest assured that this is your will.
—Words from the Book of Job
