I have brought my soul to rest

1
A Canticle in steps: of David. O Lord, my heart has not been exalted, and my eyes have not been raised up. Neither have I walked in greatness, nor in wonders beyond me.
2
When I was not humble in thought, then I lifted up my soul. Like one who has been weaned from his mother, so was I recompensed in my soul.
3
Let Israel hope in the Lord, from this time forward and even forever.

I have brought my soul to rest

1
LORD, my heart isn’t arrogant, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful 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
Israel, hope in the LORD, from this time forward and forever more.
