1A 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.
上主,我的心靈不知驕傲蠻橫,我的眼目不知高視逞能;偉大驚人的事,我不想幹,超過能力的事,我不想辦。
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 will you recompense my soul.
願我的心靈得享平靜與安寧;就像斷乳的幼兒,在他母親的懷抱中,我願我的心靈在我內,與那幼兒相同。
3Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
