Psalm 131 – NIRV & NIV

New International Reader’s Version

Psalm 131:1-3

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.

New International Version

Psalms 131:1-3

Psalm 131

A song of ascents. Of David.

1My heart is not proud, Lord,

my eyes are not haughty;

I do not concern myself with great matters

or things too wonderful for me.

2But I have calmed and quieted myself,

I am like a weaned child with its mother;

like a weaned child I am content.

3Israel, put your hope in the Lord

both now and forevermore.
