Psalms 131

1 A Song of degrees of David. LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

A song of ascents; of David. Yahweh, my heart is not proud or my eyes haughty. I do not have great hopes for myself or concern myself with things that are beyond me.

2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul [is] even as a weaned child.

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

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

Israel, hope in Yahweh now and forever.
