Psalm 131

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David.

    1LORD, my heart is not proud;

       my eyes are not haughty.

   I don’t concern myself with matters too great

       or too awesome for me to grasp.

    2Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself,

       like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother’s milk.

       Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me.

    3O Israel, put your hope in the LORD

       now and always.
