Original text and translations

German text
Ihr Heiligen, lobsinget dem Herren, danket und preiset seine Heiligkeit!
Denn sein Zoren währet einen Augenblick, und er hat Lust zum Leben.
Den Abend lang währet das Weinen, aber des Morgens die Freude.

English translation
Sing to the Lord, you saints of His; praise His holy name.
For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
