Psalms 131

1 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.

Yahwe, moyo wangu haujivuni wala macho yangu hayana kuburi. Sina matarajio makubwa kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe wala kujihofia kwa mambo ambayo yako juu ya uwezo wangu.

2 [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 wilt thou recompense my soul.

Hakika nimejituliza na kuinyamazisha nafsi yangu; kama mtoto aliyeachishwa na mama yake, nafsi yangu ndani yangu iko kama mtoto aliye achishwa.

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

Israeli, umtumainie Yahwe sasa na hata milele.
