J.S. Bach: St Matthew Passion BWV 244. Choral: Wer hat dich so geschlagen. Netherlands Bach Society, cond. Jos van Veldhoven
Mir hat die Welt trüglich gericht'
Mit Lügen und mit falschem G'dicht,
Viel Netz und heimlich Stricke.
Herr, nimm mein wahr in dieser G'fahr,
B'hüt mich für falschen Tücken!
The world has judged me deceitfully
With lies and with false utterance,
Many a snare and secret plot.
Lord, guard me in this danger,
Shield me from false deceits
May God our Redeemer show us compassion and love. Amen.
