Psalms 131

1 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.

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 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.

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

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