< 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.
Yahweh, I am not proud and I have not thought highly about (myself/the things that I have done). And I do not concern myself about things [that you have done] that are very big or very wonderful.
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.
Instead, I am calm and peaceful, like a [small] child who lies quietly in its mother’s arms [SIM]. In the same way, I am peaceful.
3 Let Israel hope in Jehovah, from henceforth and for evermore.
You [my fellow] Israelis, confidently expect that Yahweh [will do good things for you], now and forever!
