First verse provided by the Blankenburg edition with altered wording:
1 Gott, führ mein Sach und richte mich,
unheilig Volk bestreite!
Errette mich genädiglich
von falschen, bösen Leuten,
Herr, mein Zuversicht,
verstoß mich doch nicht,
laß mich nicht hülflos
in Schmerz und Trauren groß,
wenn mich mein Feind bedränget.
