ESVEnglish Standard Version

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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

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.

NLTNew Living Translation

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.

Surely I have behaved and quieted myself,

As a child that is weaned of his mother:

My soul is even as a weaned child.
