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.

Cantique des degrés de David.

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.

Si je n’avais pas d’humbles sentiments, si au contraire j’ai exalté mon âme, Que comme l’enfant qui a été sevré sur sa mère, ainsi soit traitée mon âme.

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

Qu’Israël espère dans le Seigneur, dès ce moment et jusqu’à jamais.
