Psalms 131

1 A Song of degrees. Of David. Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in great matters, and in things too wonderful for me.

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. Of David.” O LORD! my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty; I employ not myself on great things, or things too wonderful for me!

2 Surely I have restrained and composed my soul, like a weaned child with its mother: my soul within me is as a weaned child.

Yea, I have stilled and quieted my soul As a weaned child upon his mother; My soul within me is like a weaned child.

3 Let Israel hope in Jehovah, from henceforth and for evermore.

O Israel! trust in the LORD, Henceforth even for ever!
