Psalm 130

^{1 [1]}A Song of Degrees.

O Lord, my heart is not exalted,

neither have mine eyes been haughtily raised:

neither have I exercised myself in great matters,

nor in things too wonderful for me.

² I shall have sinned if I have not been humble,

but have exalted my soul:

according to the relation of a weaned child to his mother,

so wilt thou recompense my soul.

³ Let Israel hope in the Lord,

from henceforth and for ever.
