Die Sonne, dem Tag vorzustehen, denn seine Güte währet ewiglich,
El sol para que dominase en el día, Porque para siempre es su misericordia;
El sol para gobernar el día, porque su amor leal permanece para siempre.
Le soleil pour présider au jour, Car sa miséricorde dure à toujours!
Il sole, per avere il reggimento del giorno; Perciocchè la sua benignità è in eterno.
O sol para governar de dia; porque a sua benignidade dura para sempre;
他造太陽管白晝, 因他的慈愛永遠長存。
