Psalms 131
131
My Heart Is Meek
A song of the stairway by King David
1Lord, my heart is meek before you.
I don’t consider myself better than others.
I’m content to not pursue matters that are over my head—
such as your complex mysteries and wonders—
that I’m not yet ready to understand.
2I am humbled and quieted in your presence.
Like a contented child who rests on its mother’s lap, # 131:2 “Like a contented child” is literally “Like a weaned child.”
I’m your resting child and my soul is content in you.
3O people of God, # 131:3 Or “O Israel.” your time has come to quietly trust,
waiting upon the Lord now and forever.

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.
