An Angel
"O rest in the Lord, wait patiently for Him
and He shall give thee thy heart's desires.
Commit thy way unto Him, and trust in Him,
and fret not thyself because of evildoers.
O rest in the Lord, wait patiently for Him"

Ein Engel
Sei stille dem Herrn und warte auf ihn;
der wird dir geben, was dein herz wünscht.
Befiehl ihm deine Wege und hoffe auf ihn.
Steh ab vom Zorn und laß den Grimm.
Sei stille dem Herrn und warte auf ihn.
