Childlike Trust in the Lord.

A Song of Ascents, of David.

131 Lord, my heart is not (A)proud, nor my eyes (B)arrogant;
Nor do I [a]involve myself in (C)great matters,
Or in things (D)too [b]difficult for me.
I have certainly (E)soothed and quieted my soul;
Like a weaned (F)child resting [c]against his mother,
My soul [d]within me is like a weaned child.
Israel, (G)wait for the Lord
(H)From this time on and forever.

131 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Jehovah, my heart hath not been haughty, Nor have mine eyes been high, Nor have I walked in great things, And in things too wonderful for me.

Have I not compared, and kept silent my soul, As a weaned one by its mother? As a weaned one by me [is] my soul.

Israel doth wait on Jehovah, From henceforth, and unto the age!

Humilde confianza en Dios

Cántico de ascenso gradual[a]; de David.

131 Señor, mi corazón no es soberbio(A), ni mis ojos altivos(B);
no ando tras las grandezas(C),
ni en cosas demasiado difíciles[b] para mí(D);
sino que he calmado y acallado mi alma(E);
como niño destetado en el regazo de su madre(F),
como niño destetado reposa en mí mi alma.
Espera, oh Israel(G), en el Señor,
desde ahora y para siempre(H).

131 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.
