Psalm 131

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

Lord, my heart is not haughty,
    my eyes are not raised too high.
I have not striven for enormities,
    for things too wonderful for me.
I composed and quieted my desire,
    like a child given suck by his mother;
    like a child who sucks is my desire within me.

Let Israel hope in the Lord
    from now and forever.

Psalm 131

A song of ascents. Of David.

My heart is not proud,(A) Lord,
    my eyes are not haughty;(B)
I do not concern myself with great matters(C)
    or things too wonderful for me.(D)
But I have calmed and quieted myself,(E)
    I am like a weaned child with its mother;
    like a weaned child I am content.(F)

Israel, put your hope(G) in the Lord
    both now and forevermore.(H)
