Psalms 131

1 A Canticle in steps: of David. O Lord, my heart has not been exalted, and my eyes have not been raised up. Neither have I walked in greatness, nor in wonders beyond me.

A Song of Ascents; of David. LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in things too great, or in things too wonderful for me.

2 When I was not humble in thought, then I lifted up my soul. Like one who has been weaned from his mother, so was I recompensed in my soul.

Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with his mother; my soul is with me like a weaned child.

3 Let Israel hope in the Lord, from this time forward and even forever.

O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and for ever.
