Original text and translations

English.png English text

Blessed are those that be undefiled in the way,
and walk in the law of the Lord.
Blessed are those that keep his testimonies,
and seek him with their whole heart.
For they that do no wickedness walk in his ways.
Thou hast charged us O Lord
that we shall diligently keep thy commandments.
O that our ways were made so direct that we might keep thy statutes.
So shall we not be confounded
while we have respect unto all thy commandments.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.

  German.png German translation

Wohl denen, die ohne Tadel leben,
die im Gesetz des Herrn wandeln!
Wohl denen, die seine Zeugnisse halten,
die ihn von ganzem Herzen suchen!
Denn welche auf seinen Wegen wandeln, die tun kein Übels.
Du hast geboten,
fleißig zu halten deine Befehle.
O daß mein Leben deine Rechte mit ganzem Ernst hielte!
Wenn ich schaue allein auf deine Gebote,
so werde ich nicht zuschanden.

Ehre sei dem Vater und dem Sohn und dem Heiligen Geist.
Wie es war im Anfang, jetzt und immerdar, und von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit.
