Psalm 131

A Song of degrees of David.

Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty:
neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother:
my soul is even as a weaned child.
Let Israel hope in the Lord from henceforth and for ever.

Simple Trust in the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

131 Lord, my heart is not [a]haughty,
Nor my eyes [b]lofty.
(A)Neither do I [c]concern myself with great matters,
Nor with things too [d]profound for me.

Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul,
(B)Like a weaned child with his mother;
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

(C)O Israel, hope in the Lord
From this time forth and forever.

Childlike Trust in the Lord.

A Song of [a]Ascents. Of David.

131 Lord, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty;
Nor do I involve myself in great matters,
Or in things too difficult for me.

Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul;
Like a weaned child [resting] with his mother,
My soul is like a weaned child within me [composed and freed from discontent].

O Israel, hope in the Lord
From this time forth and forever.

Confiando en Dios como un niño

Cántico gradual; de David.

131 Jehová, no se ha envanecido mi corazón, ni mis ojos se enaltecieron;

Ni anduve en grandezas,

Ni en cosas demasiado sublimes para mí.

En verdad que me he comportado y he acallado mi alma

Como un niño destetado de su madre;

Como un niño destetado está mi alma.

Espera, oh Israel, en Jehová,

Desde ahora y para siempre.
