Psalms 131

1 “A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. Of David.” O LORD! my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty; I employ not myself on great things, 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 Yea, I have stilled and quieted my soul As a weaned child upon his mother; My soul within me is like a weaned child.

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

3 O Israel! trust in the LORD, Henceforth even for ever!

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