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.
2	But I have calmed 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 forevermore.

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 stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3	O Israel, put your hope in the LORD both now and forevermore.

1	LORD, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I don't concern myself with matters too great or too awesome for me to grasp.
2	Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself, like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother's milk. Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3	O Israel, put your hope in the LORD– now and always. A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.

1	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.
