Psalms 131

1 Lord, my heart is not exalted: nor are my eyes lofty. Neither have I walked in great matters, nor in wonderful things above me.

Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty. Neither do I exercise myself in grand matters, or in things too wonderful for me.

2 If I was not humbly minded, but exalted my soul: As a child that is weaned is towards his mother, so reward in my soul.

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

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

O Israel, hope in Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore.
