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,

I’m your resting child and my soul is content in you.

³O people of God, your time has come to quietly trust,[#131:3 Or “O Israel.”]

waiting upon the Lord now and forever.
