Original text and translations

German text

Allein auf Gottes Wort will ich
mein Grund und Glauben bauen;
das soll mein Schatz sein ewiglich,
dem ich allein will trauen.
Kein menschlich Weisheit will ich nicht,
dem göttlich Wort vergleichen;
was Gottes Wort klar spricht und richt
soll billig alles weichen.
