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.

A song of ascents; of David. Yahweh, my heart is not proud or my eyes haughty. I do not have great hopes for myself or concern myself with things that are beyond 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.

Indeed I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with his mother, my soul within me is like a weaned child.

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

Israel, hope in Yahweh now and forever.
