א [שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת, לְדָוִד:]1 יְהוָה, לֹא-גָבַהּ לִבִּי-- וְלֹא-רָמוּ עֵינַי; וְלֹא-הִלַּכְתִּי, בִּגְדֹלוֹת וּבְנִפְלָאוֹת מִמֶּנִּי. ב אִם-לֹא שִׁוִּיתִי, וְדוֹמַמְתִּי-- נַפְשִׁי: כְּגָמֻל, עֲלֵי אִמּוֹ; כַּגָּמֻל עָלַי נַפְשִׁי. ג יַחֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל, אֶל-יְהוָה-- מֵעַתָּה, וְעַד-עוֹלָם.

Psaume 131
Language: French (Français)  after the Hebrew (עברית)
1 [Cantique des degrés. De David.] Éternel ! je n'ai ni un cœur qui s'enfle, ni des regards hautains ; je ne m'occupe pas de choses trop grandes et trop relevées pour moi. 2 Loin de là, j'ai l'âme calme et tranquille, comme un enfant sevré qui est auprès de sa mère ; j'ai l'âme comme un enfant sevré. 3 Israël, mets ton espoir en l'Éternel, dès maintenant et à jamais !
