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.

Lord, my heart is not exalted: nor are my eyes lofty. Neither have I walked in great matters, nor in wonderful things above 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.

If I was not humbly minded, but exalted my soul: As a child that is weaned is towards his mother, so reward in my soul.

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

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