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. O Lord, my heart is not haughty, my eyes are not lofty, I walk not among great things, 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.

Yes, I have soothed and stilled myself, like a young child on his mother’s lap; like a young child am I.

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

O Israel, hope in the Lord from now and for evermore.
