Psalms 131

1 A Song of Degrees. O Lord, my heart is not exalted, neither have mine eyes been [haughtily] raised: neither have I exercised myself in great [matters], nor in things too wonderful for me.

Ein Wallfahrtslied Davids. HERR, mein Herz ist nicht hochfahrend,

2 [I shall have sinned] if I have not been humble, but have exulted my soul: according to [the relation of] a weaned child to his mother, so will you recompense my soul.

Nein, ich habe mein Herz beruhigt und gestillt; wie ein entwöhntes Kind an der Mutter Brust, so ruht entwöhnt mein Herz in mir. –

3 Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.

Israel, harre des HERRN von nun an bis in Ewigkeit.
