Psalms 131

1 A Song of the going up. Of David. Lord, there is no pride in my heart and my eyes are not lifted up; and I have not taken part in great undertakings, or in things over-hard for me.

Lord, my heart is not exalted: nor are my eyes lofty. Neither have I walked in great matters, nor in wonderful things above me.

2 See, I have made my soul calm and quiet, like a child on its mother's breast; my soul is like a child on its mother's breast.

If I was not humbly minded, but exalted my soul: As a child that is weaned is towards his mother, so reward in my soul.

3 O Israel, have hope in the Lord, from this time and for ever.

Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.
