New International Version (NIV)

2But I have calmed and quieted myself,

I am like a weaned child with its mother;

like a weaned child I am content.

2I have certainly soothed and quieted my soul;

Like a weaned child resting against his mother,

My soul within me is like a weaned child.

2Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul;

Like a weaned child [resting] with his mother,

My soul is like a weaned child within me [composed and freed from discontent].

2Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul;

like a weaned child with his mother,

like a weaned child is my soul within me.

2Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul;

Like a weaned child with his mother,

Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

2Surely I haue behaued my selfe, like one wained from his mother, and kept silence: I am in my selfe as one that is wained.

2Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul,

like a weaned child with his mother,

like a weaned child is my soul within me.

2I have made myself calm and content

like a young child in its mother’s arms.

Deep down inside me, I am as content as a young child.

2Instead, I am quiet

and there is peace in my mind.

I am like a young child who sits on his mother's knee.

Yes, I have peace in my mind.

2Have I not compared, and kept my soul silent, || As a weaned one by its mother? As a weaned one by me [is] my soul.
