Psalm 131

1 Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; Neither do I exercise myself in great matters, Or in things too wonderful for me.

2 Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul; Like a weaned child with his mother, Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

3 O Israel, hope in Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore.

Psalm 131

A song of ascents, by David.

1 O Lord, my heart is not proud,
nor do I have a haughty look.
I do not have great aspirations,
or concern myself with things that are beyond me.

2 Indeed I am composed and quiet,
like a young child carried by its mother;
I am content like the young child I carry.

3 O Israel, hope in the Lord
now and forevermore!
