PSALM 131
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Song of degrees of David.
1My heart not haughty is, O Lord,
mine eyes not lofty be;
Nor do I deal in matters great,
or things too high for me.
2I surely have myself behav'd
with quiet sp'rit and mild,
As child of mother wean'd: my soul
is like a weaned child.
3Upon the Lord let all the hope
of Israel rely,
Ev'n from the time that present is
unto eternity.

131
Song of Quiet Trust
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
1O Lord, my heart is not lifted up,
my eyes are not raised too high;
I do not occupy myself with things
too great and too marvelous for me.
2But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
like a weaned child with its mother;
my soul is like the weaned child that is with me.#131.2 Or my soul within me is like a weaned child
3O Israel, hope in the Lord
from this time on and forevermore.
