Psalms 131 ASV
Summary: A very short Song of Ascents of David expressing deliberate humility: "Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me" (v. 1). Its central image is domestic and tender — "I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child" (v. 2) — a picture of contented rest rather than striving. It closes urging Israel to "hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever" (v. 3).
1A Song of Ascents; of David. Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; Neither do I exercise myself in great matters, Or in things too wonderful for me.
2Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul; Like a weaned child with his mother, Like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3O Israel, hope in Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore.
