Psalms 131

Psalm 131¹

A song of ascents,² by David.

131:1 O Lord, my heart is not proud,

nor do I have a haughty look.³

I do not have great aspirations,

or concern myself with things that are beyond me.⁴

131:2 Indeed⁵ I am composed and quiet,⁶

like a young child carried by its mother;⁷

I am content like the young child I carry.⁸

131:3 O Israel, hope in the Lord

now and forevermore!
