Psalms 131

1 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.

A Song of Ascents. By David. Yahweh, my heart isn’t arrogant, nor my eyes lofty; nor do I concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.

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

Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.

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

Israel, hope in Yahweh, from this time forward and forever more.
