"how he swore to the Lord, how he made a vow to the God of Jacob: "
— Psalms 131:2, Catholic Public Domain Version
“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. ”
“Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.”
“Indeed, I have calmed and quieted myself like a weaned child with its mother; I am content like a young child.”
“How he swore to the Lord, he vowed a vow to the God of Jacob:”
“See, I have made my soul calm and quiet, like a child on its mother's breast; my soul is like a child on its mother's breast.”
“Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.”
A Canticle in steps. O Lord, remember David and all his meekness,
how he swore to the Lord, how he made a vow to the God of Jacob:
I shall not enter into the tabernacle of my house, nor climb into the bed where I lie down;
I shall not give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eyelids
and rest to my temples, until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
