Psalm 131

Song of Quiet Trust

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

O Lord, my heart is not lifted up;
    my eyes are not raised too high;
I do not occupy myself with things
    too great and too marvelous for me.(A)
But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
    like a weaned child with its mother;
    my soul is like the weaned child that is with me.[a](B)

O Israel, hope in the Lord
    from this time on and forevermore.(C)

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