Psalms 131

1 A Song of Ascents; of David. LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in things too great, or in things too wonderful for me.

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

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

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.

3 O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and for ever.

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