Psalm 131

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

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.

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

[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.

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

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