Yahweh, my heart isn’t haughty, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.
Coptic English (عن القبطية)
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.
Greek • يوناني (السبعينية / الأصلية)
Εαν ο Κυριος δεν οικοδομηση οικον, εις ματην κοπιαζουσιν οι οικοδομουντες αυτον· εαν ο Κυριος δεν φυλαξη πολιν, εις ματην αγρυπνει ο φυλαττων.
Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
Coptic English (عن القبطية)
I shall have sinned if I have not been humble, but have exulted my soul: according to the relation of a weaned child to his mother, so wilt thou recompense my soul.
Greek • يوناني (السبعينية / الأصلية)
Ματαιον ειναι εις εσας να σηκονησθε πρωι, να πλαγιαζητε αργα, τρωγοντες τον αρτον του κοπου· ο Κυριος βεβαιως διδει υπνον εις τον αγαπητον αυτου.
