Psalms 131

1 “A song of the degrees by David.” O Lord, my heart was not haughty, nor were my eyes lofty: neither have I walked after matters too great, or those too wonderful for me.

A Song of Ascents. By David. LORD, my heart is not arrogant, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.

2 Surely I have pacified and stilled my soul, like the suckling on its mother's breast: like a suckling is in me 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 wait for the Lord from this time forth and for ever more.

Israel, hope in the LORD, from this time forward and forever more.
