178: Wie lang, O Herr, wie lange soll.

Wie lang, O Herr, wie lange soll.--(Goed. 178.)

Appeared in Crü. Praxis, 1656, no. 365.

Translated by J. Kelly, 1867, p. 235, in seven stanzas of seven lines each. The rhyme and metre have been altered after the first four lines in each stanza, with the result that the version is one of this translator's least successful contributions.

Befiehl du deine Wege.--(Goed. 185.)
