Psalms 131

1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Jehovah, my heart hath not been haughty, Nor have mine eyes been high, Nor have I walked in great things, And in things too wonderful for me.

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. Of David.” O LORD! my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty; I employ not myself on great things, or things too wonderful for me!

2 Have I not compared, and kept silent my soul, As a weaned one by its mother? As a weaned one by me [is] my soul.

Yea, I have stilled and quieted my soul As a weaned child upon his mother; My soul within me is like a weaned child.

3 Israel doth wait on Jehovah, From henceforth, and unto the age!

O Israel! trust in the LORD, Henceforth even for ever!
