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 THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. YHWH, my heart has not been haughty, Nor have my eyes been high, Nor have I walked in great things, And in 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.

Have I not compared, and kept my soul silent, As a weaned one by its mother? As a weaned one by me [is] my soul.

3 Let Israel wait for the Lord from this time forth and for ever more.

Israel waits on YHWH, From now on, and for all time!
