da seine Leuchte über meinem Haupt schien und ich bei seinem Licht in der Finsternis ging;
Cuando hacía resplandecer su candela sobre mi cabeza, A la luz de la cual yo caminaba en la oscuridad;
cuando su lámpara brillaba sobre mi cabeza y a su luz caminaba por las tinieblas!
Quand sa lampe brillait sur ma tête, Et que sa lumière me guidait dans les ténèbres!
Quando egli faceva rilucere la sua lampana sopra il mio capo, E quando io camminava al suo lume, per mezzo le tenebre;
Quando fazia resplandecer a sua lâmpada sobre a minha cabeça e quando eu pela sua luz caminhava pelas trevas.
那時他的燈照在我頭上, 我藉他的光行過黑暗。
