Psalms 131
A brief Song of Ascent attributed to David expressing humble contentment: not lifting eyes too high or occupying himself with things too great, but quieting his soul like a weaned child with its mother. The psalm ends with a call for Israel to hope in the Lord from this time forth and forevermore.
1Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
2Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
3Let Israel hope in the Lord from henceforth and for ever.
