Psalms 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.

I Have Calmed and Quieted My Soul
A Song of #[See Ps. 120, title]Ascents. Of David.
1O Lord, my heart is not #[Ps. 138:6; Isa. 57:15] lifted up;
my eyes are not #See Ps. 101:5 raised too high;
I do not #[Jer. 45:5; Rom. 12:16] occupy myself with things
too great and #See Job 42:3too marvelous for me.
2But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
like a weaned #[Matt. 18:3; 1 Cor. 14:20]child with its mother;
like a weaned child is my soul within me.

Ps. 130:7
O Israel, hope in the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore.
