MSB Audio · Psalms 131
Majority Standard Bible
1 A song of ascents. Of David. My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty. I do not aspire to great things or matters too lofty for me.
2 Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, both now and forevermore.
KJV
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.
1545 Luther's English Bible (LED)
Mirror of humility. Abomination of arrogance.
1 A song of David in the higher chorus. O Lord, my heart is not proud, Nor mine eyes haughty, Nor walk in great things that are too high for me.
2 If I sat not down and nursed my soul, my soul was weaned, as one is weaned from his mother.
3 Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth even for ever.

Machine-translated from Luther's final 1545 German Bible
The LED is an English rendering of Martin Luther's final 1545 German Bible. According to BackToLuther, it was produced by using the DeepL Translator on Luther's German text, then processed, polished, formatted, and hyperlinked for reading, while preserving chapter headings and other notations from orthodox German Lutheran Bibles.
