Cantata BWV 150
English Translation in Parallel Format

Cantata BWV 150 - For you, Lord, is my longing

 1. Sinfonia Fagotto, Violino I/II, Continuo

2. Coro Fagotto, Violino I/II, Continuo

Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich. .
Mein Gott, ich hoffe auf dich.
.
Laß mich nicht zuschanden werden,
,
daß sich meine Feinde nicht freuen über mich.

For you, Lord, is my longing..
My God, I hope in you.,
Let me not be put to shame,
so that my enemies may not rejoice over me

   

3. Aria Soprano Violino I/II all' unisono, Continuo

Doch bin und bleibe ich vergnügt,
Obgleich hier zeitlich toben
Kreuz, Sturm und andre Proben,
,
Tod, Höll und was sich fügt.
.
Ob Unfall schlägt den treuen Knecht,
,
Recht ist und bleibet ewig Recht.

But I am and remain content,
although here in time rage,
cross, storm and other trials,.
death, hell and what is ordained.
Even if misfortune strikes your faithful servant,
right is and always remains right

 

4. Chorus Fagotto, Violino I/II, Continuo

Leite mich in deiner Wahrheit und lehre mich;
denn du bist der Gott, der mir hilft,
täglich harre ich dein.

Lead me in your truth and teach me:
for you are the God, who helps me,
everyday I wait on you.

   

5. Aria (Terzetto) Alto Tenor Bass Fagotto, Continuo

Zedern müssen von den Winden
Oft viel Ungemach empfinden,
Oftmals werden sie verkehrt.
Rat und Tat auf Gott gestellet,
Achtet nicht, was widerbellet,
,
Denn sein Wort ganz anders lehrt.

Cedars must before the wind,
often feel much hardship,
often they are overturned.
Thought and action entrust to God,,
pay no attention to what howls against you,
for his word teaches quite otherwise

   

6. Chorus Fagotto, Violino I/II, Continuo

Meine Augen sehen stets zu dem Herrn;
denn er wird meinen Fuß aus dem Netze ziehen.

My eyes look always towards the Lord
for he will pull my foot out of the net.

 

7. Chorus Fagotto, Violino I/II, Continuo

Meine Tage in dem Leide
Endet Gott dennoch zur Freude;
Christen auf den Dornenwegen
Führen Himmels Kraft und Segen.
.
Bleibet Gott mein treuer Schutz,
Achte ich nicht Menschentrutz,

Christus, der uns steht zur Seiten,
Hilft mir täglich sieghaft streiten.

My days in sorrow
God ends nevertheless with joy;
Christians on the thorny ways.
are led by heaven's strength and blessing.
If God remains my faithful protection,
I do not care for men's spite.
Christ, who stands at our side,
helps me everyday to strive victoriously.
