< Psalms 131 >
1 A Song of degrees. Of David. Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in great matters, and 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 Surely I have restrained and composed my soul, like a weaned child with its mother: my soul within me is as a weaned child.
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 Jehovah, from henceforth and for evermore.
Israeli, umtumainie Yahwe sasa na hata milele.
