| Bible in Basic English (BBE) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 Lord, there is no pride in my heart and my eyes are not lifted up; and I have not taken part in great undertakings, or in things over-hard for me. | 1 My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. |
| 2 See, I have made my soul calm and quiet, like a child on its mother's breast; my soul is like a child on its mother's breast. | 2 But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. |
| 3 O Israel, have hope in the Lord, from this time and for ever. | 3 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD both now and forevermore. |
