ה׳ לֹא גָבַהּ לִבִּי וְגוֹ׳. לֹא נָהַגְתִּי שְׂרָרָה, לֹא עָשִׂיתִי גְדוֹלוֹת: תַּעֲנוּגוֹת בִּנְיָנִים וּנְטִיעוֹת כְּעֵין שֶׁעָשָׂה בְנִי. הִנְנִי עָלֶיךָ כְּמִי שֶׁאֵין לוֹ יָדַיִם וְרַגְלַיִם, כְּגֹלֶם מֻטָּל לְנֶגְדְּךָ (ס״א אינו):
my heart was not haughty, etc. I did not behave with superiority. I did not make great things pleasures, buildings, and plantings as my son made. Behold I am with You like one who has no hands or feet, like an incomplete form lying before You.
שִׁוִּיתִי וְדוֹמַמְתִּי. עָלֶיךָ נַפְשִׁי כְּגָמֻל, שֶׁהוּא נָתוּן עֲלֵי אִמּוֹ; גָּמֻל. יוֹנֵק שָׁדַיִם:
I calmed and quieted my soul upon You, like a suckling who is placed upon his mother. גָמוּל is one who sucks the breasts.
כְּגָמוּל עֲלֵי נַפְשִׁי. נַפְשִׁי בְּקִרְבִּי לְנֶגְדְּךָ כְּיוֹנֵק שְׁדֵי אִמּוֹ:
like a suckling was my soul with me My soul within me was before You as an infant sucking its mother’s breasts.
