Psalms 131 DBY
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 degrees. Of David. Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in great matters, and in things too wonderful for me.
2Surely I have restrained and composed my soul, like a weaned child with its mother: my soul within me is as a weaned child.
3Let Israel hope in Jehovah, from henceforth and for evermore.
