Psalm 131, side by side

Two versions of the same chapter. Each row is one verse, so you can see how the wording changes.

Modern

1A song of ascents. Of David. My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty. I do not aspire to great things or matters too lofty for me.

Classic

1Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

Modern

2Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.

Classic

2Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

Modern

3O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, both now and forevermore.

Classic

3Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.
