Psalm 131

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

“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.

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

Surely I have pacified and stilled my soul, like the suckling on its mother's breast: like a suckling is in me my soul.

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

Let Israel wait for the Lord from this time forth and for ever more.
