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.

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 !
