Translation:
Don’t the little birds move their tongues as soon as the day begins, they don’t cease the thanking until the twelfth hour of the day. From the deepest bottom of the water all little fish are playing and are grateful to the Lord. Time comes to an end but not God’s faithfulness, because wherever I turn he is always new. Time passes and I with it; only you, my God, are always with me.
