< 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.
A song of ascents. Of David. My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty. I do not aspire to great things or matters too lofty 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, put your hope in the LORD, both now and forevermore.
