Psalms 131

1 “A song of the degrees by David.” O Lord, my heart was not haughty, nor were my eyes lofty: neither have I walked after matters too great, or those 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 pacified and stilled my soul, like the suckling on its mother's breast: like a suckling is in me 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 wait for the Lord from this time forth and for ever more.

Israeli, umtumainie Yahwe sasa na hata milele.
