PART ONE

1 Help, Lord! – Hilf,Herr! (from 5 bars before choir entry)

2 Lord, bow thine ear to our pray’r! – Herr, höre unser Gebet!

5 Yet doth the Lord see it not – Aber der Herr sieht es nicht

7 For he shall give his angels charge – Denn er hat seinen Engeln befohlen

9 Blessed are the men who fear Him – Wohl dem, der den Herrn fürchtet

10 As God the Lord of Sabaoth liveth – So wahr der Herr Zebaoth lebet (8 bars before the Tenor soloist entry)

11 Baal, we cry to thee – Baal erhöre uns!

12 Call him louder, for he is God! – Rufet lauter! Denn er ist ja Gott!

13 Call him louder! he heareth not! – Rufet lauter! Er hört euch nicht

15 Cast thy burden upon the Lord – Wirf dein Anliegen auf den Herrn

16 O thou, who makest thine angels spirits – Der du deine Diener machst zu Geistern

19 O Lord, thou hast overthrown thine enemies – O Herr, du hast nun deine Feinde verworfen (from 12 bars before the choir entry)

20 Thanks be to God! Dank sei dir, Gott

PART TWO

22 Be not afraid, saith God the Lord – Fürchte dich nicht, spricht unser Gott

23 The Lord hath exalted thee – Der Herr hat dich erhoben

24 Woe to him, he shall perish – Wehe, ihm, er muss sterben!

28 Lift thine eyes – Hebe deine Augen auf zu den Bergen

29 He watching over Israel, slumbers not – Siehe, der Hüter Israels schläft noch schlummert nicht

32 He that shall endure to the end, shall be saved – Wer bis an das Ende beharrt

34 Behold, God the Lord passed by! Der Herr ging vorüber

35 Holy is God the Lord – Heilig ist Gott der Herr

36 Go, return upon thy way! – Gehe wiederum hinab!

38 Then did Elijah the prophet break forth – Und der Prophet Elias brach hervor

41 But the Lord from the north hath raised one – Aber einer erwacht von Mitternacht

42 O come, every one that thirsteth

43 And then, shall your light break forth – Alsdann wird euer Licht hervorbrechen
