Translation of text heard in first movement:
I am weary with groaning;
every night I drench my bed in tears,
I melt my couch.
My eyes are wasted by vexation,
worn out because of all my foes….
My days are so few, so desist!
Leave me alone,
before I depart
—never to return—
for the land of deepest gloom.
Psalm 6: 7-8, Job 10: 20-21
