1 Cantique des degrés. De David. Éternel! je n’ai ni un cœur qui s’enfle, ni des regards hautains; Je ne m’occupe pas de choses trop grandes et trop relevées pour moi.

2 Loin de là, j’ai l’âme calme et tranquille, Comme un enfant sevré qui est auprès de sa mère; J’ai l’âme comme un enfant sevré.

3 Israël, mets ton espoir en l’Éternel, Dès maintenant et à jamais!
