Mein Sohn, warum hast du uns das gethan?
Was ists, dass ihr mich gesuchet habet? Wisset ihr nicht, dass ich sein muss
Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen, Herr Zebaoth. |

48b Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us?
49b How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not
How lovely are Your dwelling-places, Lord Sabaoth.
