Psalms 131

1 [A Song of Ascents. By David.] LORD, my heart isn't haughty, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.

A song of ascents. Of David. O Lord, my heart is not haughty, my eyes are not lofty, I walk not among great things, things too wonderful for me.

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

Yes, I have soothed and stilled myself, like a young child on his mother’s lap; like a young child am I.

3 Israel, hope in the LORD, from this time forth and forevermore.

O Israel, hope in the Lord from now and for evermore.
