1 (130-1) <A gradual canticle of David.> Lord, my heart is not exalted: nor are my eyes lofty. Neither have I walked in great matters, nor in wonderful things above me.
1
My heart is not proud, LORD, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me.
2 (130-2) If I was not humbly minded, but exalted my soul: As a child that is weaned is towards his mother, so reward in my soul.
2
But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content.
3 (130-3) Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.
3
Israel, put your hope in the LORD both now and forevermore.
