1.    שיר  המעלות  לדוד 
יהוה  לא־גבה  לבי
ולא־רמו  עיני
ולא־הלכתי  בגדלות
ובנפלאות  ממני׃
    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.     {A Song of Ascents. By David.} Yahweh, my heart isn't haughty, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.     A Song of the going up. Of David.
Lord, there is no pride in my heart and my eyes are not lifted up; and I have not taken part in great undertakings, or in things over-hard for me.
 
2.    אם־לא  שויתי 
ודוממתי  נפשי  כגמל
עלי  אמו  כגמל  עלי
נפשי׃
    Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.     Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.     See, I have made my soul calm and quiet, like a child on its mother's breast; my soul is like a child on its mother's breast.
 
3.    יחל  ישראל  אל־יהוה 
מעתה  ועד־עולם׃
    Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.     Israel, hope in Yahweh, from this time forth and forevermore.     O Israel, have hope in the Lord, from this time and for ever.
