Psalms

Chapter 131

A Humble and Quiet Soul

The psalmist declares that his heart is not proud and his eyes are not lofty, nor does he involve himself in matters too great for him. He has calmed himself like a weaned child calmed by its mother. He calls upon Israel to hope in the Lord forever.

HumilityQuietnessTrust in GodChildlike faith

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.

2Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

3Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.
