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 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 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.

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

3 You [my fellow] Israelis, confidently expect that Yahweh [will do good things for you], now and forever!

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