< Psalms 131 >
1 Yahweh, I am not proud and I have not thought highly about (myself/the things that I have done). And I do not concern myself about things [that you have done] that are very big or very wonderful.
A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. YHWH, my heart has not been haughty, Nor have my eyes been high, Nor have I walked in great things, And in things too wonderful for me.
2 Instead, I am calm and peaceful, like a [small] child who lies quietly in its mother’s arms [SIM]. In the same way, I am peaceful.
Have I not compared, and kept my soul silent, As a weaned one by its mother? As a weaned one by me [is] my soul.
3 You [my fellow] Israelis, confidently expect that Yahweh [will do good things for you], now and forever!
Israel waits on YHWH, From now on, and for all time!
