Psalm 131[a]

Humble Trust in God

A song of ascents. Of David.

Lord, my heart is not proud;
    nor are my eyes haughty.
I do not busy myself with great matters,
    with things too sublime for me.(A)
Rather, I have stilled my soul,
Like a weaned child to its mother,
    weaned is my soul.(B)
Israel, hope in the Lord,
    now and forever.

  1. Psalm 131 A song of trust, in which the psalmist gives up self-sufficiency (Ps 131:1), like a babe enjoying the comfort of its mother’s lap (Ps 131:2), thus providing a model for Israel’s faith (Ps 131:3).
