Psalm 131

1 Ein Wallfahrtslied Davids. HERR, mein Herz ist nicht hochfahrend,

A Canticle in steps: of David. O Lord, my heart has not been exalted, and my eyes have not been raised up. Neither have I walked in greatness, nor in wonders beyond me.

2 Nein, ich habe mein Herz beruhigt und gestillt; wie ein entwöhntes Kind an der Mutter Brust, so ruht entwöhnt mein Herz in mir. –

When I was not humble in thought, then I lifted up my soul. Like one who has been weaned from his mother, so was I recompensed in my soul.

3 Israel, harre des HERRN von nun an bis in Ewigkeit.

Let Israel hope in the Lord, from this time forward and even forever.
