Psalms 131

1 Orin fún ìgòkè. Ti Dafidi. Olúwa àyà mi kò gbéga, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ojú mi kò gbé sókè: bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò fi ọwọ́ mi lé ọ̀ràn ńlá, tàbí lé ohun tí ó ga jù mí lọ.

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 Nítòótọ́ èmi mú ọkàn mi sinmi, mo sì mú un dákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́, bí ọmọ tí a ti ọwọ́ ìyá rẹ̀ gbà ní ẹnu ọmú: ọkàn mi rí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọmọ tí a já ní ẹnu ọmú.

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 Israẹli, ìwọ ní ìrètí ní ti Olúwa láti ìsinsin yìí lọ àti láéláé.

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