יְהוָ֤ה׀ לֹא־גָבַ֣הּ לִ֭בִּי
O Apo , inikkatkon ti kinapalangguadko;
Lord , my heart is not proud;
κύριε οὐχ ὑψώθη μου ἡ καρδία
וְלֹא־רָמ֣וּ עֵינַ֑י
inwaksikon ti kinatangsitko.
my eyes are not haughty.
οὐδὲ ἐμετεωρίσθησαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου
וְלֹֽא־ הִלַּ֓כְתִּי׀
Diak maseknan
I don’t concern myself
οὐδὲ ἐπορεύθην

with matters too great
ἐν μεγάλοις
וּבְנִפְלָא֣וֹת מִמֶּֽנִּי׃

or too awesome for me to grasp.

Ngem mapnekak, awan pakaburiborak;
Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself,
εἰ μὴ ἐταπεινοφρόνουν ἀλλὰ ὕψωσα τὴν ψυχήν μου
כְּ֭גָמֻל עֲלֵ֣י אִמּ֑וֹ
kas iti ubing a naulimek iti saklot ni inana,
like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother’s milk.
ὡς τὸ ἀπογεγαλακτισμένον ἐπὶ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ
כַּגָּמֻ֖ל עָלַ֣י נַפְשִֽׁי׃
naulimek met ti pusok iti unegko.
Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
ὡς ἀνταπόδοσις ἐπὶ τὴν ψυχήν μου
