Psalm 131

English Standard Version

from Crossway

I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 O LORD, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me. (Job 42:3; Ps 101:5; Ps 138:6; Isa 57:15; Jer 45:5; Ro 12:16) 

2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me. (Mt 18:3; 1Co 14:20) 

3 O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and forevermore. (Ps 130:7)

Psalm 131

Louis Segond 1910

1 Cantique des degrés. De David. Éternel! je n'ai ni un coeur qui s'enfle, ni des regards hautains; Je ne m'occupe pas de choses trop grandes et trop relevées pour moi. 

2 Loin de là, j'ai l'âme calme et tranquille, Comme un enfant sevré qui est auprès de sa mère; J'ai l'âme comme un enfant sevré. 

3 Israël, mets ton espoir en l'Éternel, Dès maintenant et à jamais!
