The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
The Message Bible MSG
1 A song of ascents. By David: ADONAI, my heart isn't proud; I don't set my sight too high, I don't take part in great affairs or in wonders far beyond me.
1
God, I'm not trying to rule the roost, I don't want to be king of the mountain. I haven't meddled where I have no business or fantasized grandiose plans.
2 No, I keep myself calm and quiet, like a little child on its mother's lap -I keep myself like a little child.
2
I've kept my feet on the ground, I've cultivated a quiet heart. Like a baby content in its mother's arms, my soul is a baby content.
3 Isra'el, put your hope in ADONAI from now on and forever!
3
Wait, Israel, for God. Wait with hope. Hope now; hope always!
