< Psalms 131 >
1 A song of degrees or Psalme of David. Lord, mine heart is not hautie, neither are mine eyes loftie, neither haue I walked in great matters and hid from 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 haue behaued my selfe, like one wained from his mother, and kept silence: I am in my selfe as one that is wained.
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 waite on the Lord from hencefoorth and for euer.
O Israel! trust in the LORD, Henceforth even for ever!
