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.

Psalms 131
131
Calm Trust in Yahweh
A song of ascents. Of David.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm
1My heart is not haughty nor my eyes arrogant.#Literally “raised”
And I do not concern myself#Literally “walk about”
with things too great and difficult for me.
2Rather I have soothed and quieted my soul,
like a weaned child with its mother,
like the weaned child is my soul with me.
3O Israel, hope in Yahweh
from now until forever.
