Psalms 131

1 A Song of degrees of David. LORD, my heart [is] not haughty, nor my eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

“A song of the degrees by David.” O Lord, my heart was not haughty, nor were my eyes lofty: neither have I walked after matters too great, or those too wonderful for me.

2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself as a child that is weaned by his mother: my soul [is] even as a weaned child.

Surely I have pacified and stilled my soul, like the suckling on its mother's breast: like a suckling is in me my soul.

3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

Let Israel wait for the Lord from this time forth and for ever more.
