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.

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. Lord, I'm not proud or arrogant. I don't worry about things that are beyond me, matters that are far beyond my experience.

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.

On the contrary, I have chosen to be calm and quiet, like a weaned child with its mother. I am like a weaned child with its mother.

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

Israel, hope in the Lord, now and forever!
