Psalms 131

1 A Song of Ascents. David’s. O Yahweh, my heart, is not haughty, nor are mine eyes, lofty, neither have I moved among great matters, or among affairs too wonderful for me.

Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty. Neither do I exercise myself in grand matters, or in things too wonderful for me.

2 Surely I have soothed and silenced my soul, —like a weaned child, concerning his mother, like a weaned child, concerning myself—mine own soul.

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

3 Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh, from this time forth, even to times age-abiding.

O Israel, hope in Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore.
