und spielte auf seinem Erdboden, und meine Lust ist bei den Menschenkindern.
Huélgome en la parte habitable de su tierra; Y mis delicias son con los hijos de los hombres.
Jouant sur le globe de sa terre, Et trouvant mon bonheur parmi les fils de l'homme.
Io mi sollazzo nella parte abitata della sua terra; Ed i miei diletti sono co’ figliuoli degli uomini
Regozijando-me no seu mundo habitável e enchendo-me de prazer com os filhos dos homens.
在他的全地歡笑, 喜愛住在人世間。
