1A Song of Ascents. Of David. Yahweh, my heart is not proud, and my eyes are not lifted up; I do not walk among great things, or among things too wondrous for me.
2Surely I have composed and quieted my self, like a weaned child upon its mother; like the weaned child is my self within me.
3Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh, from now and forevermore.
