Psalm 131
Expanded Bible

Childlike Trust in the Lord

A song ·for going up to worship [of ascents; C perhaps sung while traveling to Jerusalem to celebrate an annual religious festival like Passover]. Of David.

131 Lord, my heart is not proud;
    ·I don’t look down on others [L my eyes are not haughty/lifted up].
I don’t ·do [consider doing] great things,
    and I ·can’t do [don’t consider doing] ·miracles [wonderful acts].
2 But I ·am calm and quiet [L have stilled and quieted my soul]
    like a ·baby [L weaned child] with its mother,
like a ·baby [L weaned child] with its mother [C a relationship with God is like that of a mother with her weaned child resting comfortably in her arms].

3 People of Israel, put your hope in the Lord
now and forever.
