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 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 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.

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

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

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