Ž 131, 1-18

1 A Canticle in steps. O Lord, remember David and all his meekness, 2 how he swore to the Lord, how he made a vow to the God of Jacob: 3 I shall not enter into the tabernacle of my house, nor climb into the bed where I lie down; 4 I shall not give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eyelids 5 and rest to my temples, until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. 6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We discovered it in the fields of the forest. 7 We will enter into his tabernacle. We will adore in the place where his feet stood. 8 Rise up, O Lord, into your resting place. You and the ark of your sanctification. 9 Let your priests be clothed with justice, and let your saints exult. 10 For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your Christ. 11 The Lord has sworn the truth to David, and he will not disappoint: I will set upon your throne from the fruit of your lineage. 12 If your sons will keep my covenant and these, my testimonies, which I will teach to them, then their sons will sit upon your throne even forever. 13 For the Lord has chosen Zion. He has chosen it as his dwelling place. 14 This is my resting place, forever and ever. Here I will dwell, for I have chosen it. 15 When blessing, I will bless her widow. I will satisfy her poor with bread. 16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will rejoice with great 341 joy. 17 There, I will produce a horn to David. There, I have prepared a lamp for my Christ. 18 I will clothe his enemies with confusion. But my sanctification will flourish over him.

A Canticle in steps. O Lord, remember David and all his meekness,

2Krn 32:25 - But he did not repay according to the benefits which he had received, for his heart was lifted up. And so wrath was brought against him, and against Judah and Jerusalem.

Prís 16:5 - All the arrogant are an abomination to the Lord. Even if hand will be joined to hand, he is not innocent. The beginning of a good way is to do justice. And this is more acceptable with God than to immolate sacrifices.

Ž 101:5 - I have been cut down like hay, and my heart has withered, for I had forgotten to eat my bread.

Prís 6:17 - haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

Z 131 - Žalmista, rozcítený a naplnený zbožnosťou voči Pánovi, zrieka sa hĺbania veľkých a neprístupných právd. Uspokojený a utíšený sa odovzdáva do Božej opatery ako dieťa, keď odpočíva na lone svojej matky. Obsah tohto žalmu nám pripomína slová sv. Augustína, ktorý po svojich trpkých životných skúškach zvolal: "Nespokojné je naše srdce, kým nespočinie v tebe" (Vyznania 1,1, PL 32,661).
