Psalmorum 131

1 Canticum graduum David. [Domine, non est exaltatum cor meum, neque elati sunt oculi mei, neque ambulavi in magnis, neque in mirabilibus super me.

A song of ascents. Of David. O Lord, my heart is not haughty, my eyes are not lofty, I walk not among great things, things too wonderful for me.

2 Si non humiliter sentiebam, sed exaltavi animam meam: sicut ablactatus est super matre sua, ita retributio in anima mea.

Yes, I have soothed and stilled myself, like a young child on his mother’s lap; like a young child am I.

3 Speret Israël in Domino, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.]

O Israel, hope in the Lord from now and for evermore.
