| 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. | 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 But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a child quieted at its mother's breast; like a child that is quieted is my soul. | 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, hope in the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. | 3 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD both now and forevermore. |
