Psalm 131

A song of ascents. Of David.

1 My heart is not proud,(A) Lord,
    my eyes are not haughty;(B)
I do not concern myself with great matters(C)
    or things too wonderful for me.(D)
2 But I have calmed and quieted myself,(E)
    I am like a weaned child with its mother;
    like a weaned child I am content.(F)

3 Israel, put your hope(G) in the Lord
    both now and forevermore.(H)

I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul

Psaltaren 131
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015

Ödmjuk förtröstan

131 [a]En pilgrimssång av David.

Herre, mitt hjärta är inte högmodigt,
        mina ögon är inte stolta.
    Jag ägnar mig inte åt stora ting,
        åt sådant som är för svårt för mig.
2 Nej, jag har lugnat och stillat min själ
        som ett avvant barn hos sin mor.
    Som ett avvant barn
        är min själ i mig.[b]

3 Israel, hoppas på Herren,
    från nu och till evig tid!
