Psalm 131

English Standard Version

from Crossway

I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul

1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. 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 120:1; 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

New International Reader’s Version

from Biblica

A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord. A psalm of David.

1 LORD, my heart isn’t proud. My eyes aren’t proud either. I don’t concern myself with important matters. I don’t concern myself with things that are too wonderful for me. 2 I have made myself calm and content like a young child in its mother’s arms. Deep down inside me, I am as content as a young child. 3 Israel, put your hope in the LORD both now and for ever.

Psalm 131

King James Version

1 A Song of degrees of David. LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. 2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. 3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

Einheitsübersetzung 2016

from Katholisches Bibelwerk

Geborgenheit in Gott

1 Ein Wallfahrtslied. Von David. HERR, mein Herz überhebt sich nicht, nicht hochmütig blicken meine Augen, ich gehe nicht um mit großen Dingen, mit Dingen, die mir nicht begreiflich sind. (1Pe 5:5; Sir 3:21; Sir 23:4) 2 Vielmehr habe ich besänftigt, habe zur Ruhe gebracht meine Seele. Wie ein gestilltes Kind bei seiner Mutter, wie das gestillte Kind, so ist meine Seele in mir. (Ps 62:2) 3 Israel, warte auf den HERRN von nun an bis in Ewigkeit! (Ps 130:7)
