Wohl dem, der sich auf seinen Gott Recht kindlich kann verlassen! can abandon himself just like a child! Den mag gleich Sünde, Welt und Tod Though he may at once by sin, the world and death Und alle Teufel hassen, and all the devils be hated, So bleibt er dennoch wohlvergnügt, he nevertheless remains well contented, Wenn er nur Gott zum Freunde kriegt. if only he gets God for his friend. |

Happy is the man, who has God for his friend! |
