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.

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

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

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

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