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. 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 Surely I have soothed and silenced my soul, —like a weaned child, concerning his mother, like a weaned child, concerning myself—mine own 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 Wait, O Israel, for Yahweh, from this time forth, even to times age-abiding.

Israel, hope in Yahweh now and forever.
