To sing to the Lord in the contemplation of the ever-increasing surging tide of sin, of the night, and of all it’s inherent abominable deceit (According to the 93rd Psalm, 4th v. of David)
1. The waves of the sea are great and quite dreadful, they roar; but the Lord is greater still there in the height!
2. The mighty storms rush and rage already very close past my spiritualized ear; but closer to the ear than all the nocturnal storms, sounds the trumpet of the heavens, the bright, the clear – to announce to man's earth the true, the eternal peace.
3. The states, the peoples, the powers of the earth, they cry out and write and reckon mightily, the mountains already quake strongly here and there with fearful expectation of the things that are very soon to come there.
4. But there is still one up there who cries and writes and reckons, who is mightier than the states, the peoples and all the powers of the earth: the time has trickled, I come, a mighty judge, to give you filthy darkest earth the reward in the puddle and all your mighty children with you.
5. Oh, the voice is more powerful, stronger and mightier than all the worldly raging and roaring and shouting and writing and calculating and activities of the seas, the storms, the states, the peoples and all the defiant mighty of the earth!
6. Oh, only tear and destroy, you treacherous, mightily surging stream your banks, destroy the divine seeds at the field of the Word from God in the few human hearts. Oh become the sea, drown the mountains and then drive high above all the heavenly clouds your all-life- suffocating raging waves.
7. But never will you reach the glorious stars, whose endless fire blazes there in the eternal endless space, faithfully waiting for the slightest sign of the One up there, to then fall down like a quickest thought on you most abominable dwelling of abominations in a moment, and faster than a drop consumes itself at the glowing iron, destroying you forever.
8. Oh people, oh brothers, how can you still trust and believe the lie, the whore, who has blinded and deceived you so often?
9. How can you put the stamp of divine truth on the most blatant foolishness? Oh take note and pay attention to the thoughts and actions of the whore, who creeps nightly through the streets and alleys of the earth, so that she still catches someone, who then courts with her, and finally pays for the eternal shame cultivated with him.
10. Oh take then note and respect it! and you must easily and immediately see what kind of spirit the teaching is full of, which pulls down the divine, holy and true and good out of the most shameful lust for power and greed most impudently and most abominably into the darkest muddy ground, and most shamefully sells hell for heaven.
11. Oh Lord! You Almighty Friend of noble spirits and people, blow away, blow away yet once the wicked deceivers and slayers of mankind on earth!
12. Let us never be captured by the dragon of hell, suffocate him very soon in the puddle of death, so that he no longer torments us any more and further and longer continue catching the children of the earth with infernal claw. Oh Father, You most loving, Holy Father, hear this cry of lamentation for once and let us never call to You in vain: oh Father! Do not lead us into temptation anymore, but make us clean from the greatest evil for once! Your holy will be done always forever. Amen.
