Salmos 131

A gradual canticle. O Lord, remember David, and all his meekness.

Cántico gradual: de David. JEHOVÁ, no se ha envanecido mi corazón, ni mis ojos se enaltecieron; ni anduve en grandezas, ni en cosas para mí demasiado sublimes.

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.

LORD, my heart isn’t arrogant, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.

How he swore to the Lord, he vowed a vow to the God of Jacob:

En verdad que me he comportado y he acallado mi alma, como un niño destetado de su madre: como un niño destetado está mi alma.

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.

If I shall enter into the tabernacle of my house: if I shall go up into the bed wherein I lie:

Espera, oh Israel, en Jehová desde ahora y para siempre.

Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

Israel, hope in the LORD, from this time forward and forever more.

If I shall give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,

—

—

—

Or rest to my temples: until I find out a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

—

—

—

Behold we have heard of it in Ephrata: we have found it in the fields of the wood.

—

—

—

We will go into his tabernacle: we will adore in the place where his feet stood.

—

—

—

Arise, O Lord, into thy resting place: thou and the ark, which thou hast sanctified.

—

—

—

Let thy priests be clothed with justice: and let thy saints rejoice.

—

—

—

For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thy anointed.

—

—

—

The Lord hath sworn truth to David, and he will not make it void: of the fruit of thy womb I will set upon thy throne.

—

—

—

If thy children will keep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them: Their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.

—

—

—

For the Lord hath chosen Sion: he hath chosen it for his dwelling.

—

—

—

This is my rest for ever and ever: here will I dwell, for I have chosen it.

—

—

—

Blessing I will bless her widow: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

—

—

—

I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall rejoice with exceeding great joy.

—

—

—

There will I bring forth a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.

—

—

—

His enemies I will clothe with confusion: but upon him shall my sanctification flourish.
