Psalms, 131

0.

0. A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1. [Song of Ascents] Yahweh, my heart is not haughty, I do not set my sights too high. I have taken no part in great affairs, in wonders beyond my scope.

1. O LORD, my heart is not lifted up, my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me.

2. No, I hold myself in quiet and silence, like a little child in its mother's arms, like a little child, so I keep myself.

2. But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a child quieted at its mother's breast; like a child that is quieted is my soul.

3. Let Israel hope in Yahweh henceforth and for ever.

3. O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
