den Mond und Sterne, der Nacht vorzustehen, denn seine Güte währet ewiglich;
La luna y las estrellas para que dominasen en la noche, Porque para siempre es su misericordia.
La luna y las estrellas para gobernar la noche, porque su amor leal permanece para siempre.
La lune et les étoiles pour présider à la nuit, Car sa miséricorde dure à toujours!
La luna e le stelle, per avere i reggimenti della notte; Perciocchè la sua benignità è in eterno
A lua e as estrelas para presidirem à noite; porque a sua benignidade dura para sempre;
他造月亮星宿管黑夜, 因他的慈愛永遠長存。
