Psalms 131

1 A Song of Degrees. O Lord, my heart is not exalted, neither have mine eyes been [haughtily] raised: neither have I exercised myself in great [matters], nor in things too wonderful for me.

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. YHWH, my heart has not been haughty, Nor have my eyes been high, Nor have I walked in great things, And in things too wonderful for me.

2 [I shall have sinned] if I have not been humble, but have exulted my soul: according to [the relation of] a weaned child to his mother, so wilt thou recompense my soul.

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

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

Israel waits on YHWH, From now on, and for all time!
