Psalm 131
A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord. A psalm of David.
1Lord, my heart isn’t proud.
My eyes aren’t proud either.
I don’t concern myself with important matters.
I don’t concern myself with things that are too wonderful for me.
2I have made myself calm and content
like a young child in its mother’s arms.
Deep down inside me, I am as content as a young child.
3Israel, put your hope in the Lord
both now and forever.
A Song of degrees of David.
1LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.131.1 exercise…: Heb. walk131.1 high: Heb. wonderful
2Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.131.2 myself: Heb. my soul
3Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.131.3 henceforth: Heb. now
