Psalms 131 WBT
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. LORD, my heart [is] not haughty, nor my eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
2Surely I have behaved and quieted myself as a child that is weaned by his mother: my soul [is] even as a weaned child.
3Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.
