Translation by Louis Segond (1810 - 1885)

Psalm 131
Language: Hebrew (עברית) 

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 !
