Psalms 131

Psalm 131

Song of Quiet Trust

1O Lord , my heart is not lifted up;[#Ps 101.5; Isa 5.15; Rom 12.16]

my eyes are not raised too high;

I do not occupy myself with things

too great and too marvelous for me.

2But I have calmed and quieted my soul,[#Ps 62.1; Mt 18.3; 1 Cor 14.20]

like a weaned child with its mother;

my soul is like the weaned child that is with me.

3O Israel, hope in the Lord[#Ps 130.7]

from this time on and forevermore.
