Psalms 131

1 A Song of Degrees. O Lord, my heart is not exalted, neither have mine eyes been [haughtily] raised: neither have I exercised myself in great [matters], nor in things too wonderful for me.

A Song of the going up. Of David. Lord, there is no pride in my heart and my eyes are not lifted up; and I have not taken part in great undertakings, or in things over-hard for me.

2 [I shall have sinned] if I have not been humble, but have exulted my soul: according to [the relation of] a weaned child to his mother, so will you recompense my soul.

See, I have made my soul calm and quiet, like a child on its mother's breast; my soul is like a child on its mother's breast.

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

O Israel, have hope in the Lord, from this time and for ever.
