Was frag ich nach der Welt?

הִנֵּה מַה טּוֹב וּמַה נָעִים שֶבֶת אַחִים גַם יָחַד

[Hinneh mah tov umah na'yim
Shevet ah-khim gam yah-khad]

What should I ask of the world?

Behold how good and how pleasing
For people to sit together in unity.

"Was frag ich nach der Welt," Balthasar Kindermann 1664, verse 1; Psalm 133:1
