Psalms 131

1 Yahweh, I am not proud and I have not thought highly about (myself/the things that I have done). And I do not concern myself about things [that you have done] that are very big or very wonderful.

Ingoma yemiqanso. ElikaDavida. Inhliziyo yami kayizikhukhumezi, Oh Thixo, amehlo ami kawaziphakamisi; kangizihluphi ngezindaba ezinkulu loba ngezinto ezimangalisayo kimi.

2 Instead, I am calm and peaceful, like a [small] child who lies quietly in its mother’s arms [SIM]. In the same way, I am peaceful.

Kodwa ngiwupholisile ngawuthulisa umphefumulo wami; njengomntwana okhutshwe ebeleni likanina, njengomntwana okhutshwe ebeleni unjalo umphefumulo wami uthule ngaphakathi kwami.

3 You [my fellow] Israelis, confidently expect that Yahweh [will do good things for you], now and forever!

Oh, Israyeli, beka ithemba lakho kuThixo manje kuze kube phakade.
