Tehillim - Psalms - Chapter 131


Chapter 131

1. A song of ascent by David. O Lord, my heart was not haughty, nor were my eyes raised on high, and I did not pursue matters greater and more wondrous than I.   א.
my heart was not haughty, etc.: I did not behave with superiority. I did not make great things pleasures, buildings, and plantings as my son made. Behold I am with You like one who has no hands or feet, like an incomplete form lying before You.   :
2. I swear that I calmed and quieted my soul like a suckling on its mother; like a suckling was my soul with me.   ב.
I calmed and quieted: my soul upon You, like a suckling who is placed upon his mother. גָמוּל is one who sucks the breasts.   :
like a suckling was my soul with me: My soul within me was before You as an infant sucking its mother’s breasts.   :
3. Israel, hope to the Lord from now to eternity.   ג.
