Psalm 131

this is one movement from the Psalms of Ascents song cycle of eight pieces for voice, piano and violin (in five languages)

translation of this French version (New International Version)

 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.

 But I have stilled and quieted my soul;
       like a weaned child with its mother,
       like a weaned child is my soul within me.

 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD
       both now and forevermore.
