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.

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.

  1. Psalm 131:1 See Psalm 120 title note.

Humilde confianza en Dios

Cántico de ascenso gradual; 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 para mí(D);
Sino que he calmado y acallado mi alma(E);
Como un niño destetado en el regazo de su madre(F),
Como un niño destetado está mi alma dentro de mí.
Espera, oh Israel(G), en el Señor,
Desde ahora y para siempre(H).
