Der Herr ist mit mir (The Lord is on my side), BuxWV 15, is a cantata by Dieterich Buxtehude. It is scored for two violins, violone, basso continuo, and four voices (soprano, alto, tenor, bass). The text is taken from Psalm 118 (6-7).

Text

German original
Der Herr ist mit mir,
darum fürchte ich mich nicht,
was können mir Menschen tun?
Der Herr ist mit mir,
mir zu helfen,
und ich will meine Lust sehen an meinen Feinden.
Alleluia
English (Psalm 118, 6-7, KJV)
The Lord is on my side;
I will not fear:
what can man do unto me?
The Lord taketh my part
with them that help me:
therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
Hallelujah
