Psalms 131

Simple Trust in the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 Lord, my heart is not haughty,

Nor my eyes lofty.

*(Ps. 103:3, 4); Luke 1:68; Titus 2:14Neither do I concern myself with great matters,

Nor with things too profound for me.

2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul,

*Jer. 45:5; (Rom. 12:16)Like a weaned child with his mother;

Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

3 *(Matt. 18:3; 1 Cor. 14:20)O Israel, hope in the Lord

From this time forth and forever.
