My soul is even as a weaned child.

3eLet Israel hope in the Lord

†From henceforth and for ever.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

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.

But I have calmed and quieted my soul,

like a weaned child with its mother;

like a weaned child is my soul within me.

O Israel, hope in the Lord

from this time forth and forevermore.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

A song of ascents. Of David.

My heart is not proud, Lord,

my eyes are not haughty;

I do not concern myself with great matters

or things too wonderful for me.

But I have calmed and quieted myself,

I am like a weaned child with its mother;

like a weaned child I am content.

Israel, put your hope in the Lord

both now and forevermore.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

A song of ascents. Of David.

Lord, my heart is not proud;

my eyes are not haughty.

I do not get involved with things

too great or too wondrous for me.

Instead, I have calmed and quieted my soul

like a weaned child with its mother;

my soul is like a weaned child.

Israel, put your hope in the Lord,

both now and forever.

NLTNew Living Translation

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David.

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.

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.

O Israel, put your hope in the Lord—

now and always.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

A song of ascents. Of David.

O Yahweh, my heart is not haughty nor my eyes arrogant.

And I do not concern myself

with things too great and difficult for me.

Rather I have soothed and quieted my soul,

like a weaned child with its mother,

like the weaned child is my soul with me.

O Israel, hope in Yahweh

from now until forever.
